Amethyst is the chosen gemstone for the Pisces star sign and those born in the month of February. Beautiful and vibrant, purple amethyst is also the gemstone for 4th and 6th wedding anniversaries and rings containing amethyst make lovely gifts.
As part of a year long Gregorian Birthstone Poem, February’s verse quotes wearing amethyst rings as the freedom from passion and care.
The February born shall find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they, the amethyst will wear.
(Published in 1870 by Tiffany & Co, author unknown)
Although amethyst is found in deep shades of purple, the popular amethyst gemstone can be found in lighter shades of mauve and lilac. Amethyst rings represent courage, inner strength, peace and calm.
