Birthstones & FlowersFebruary Birthstone ~ Amethyst ~ Sincerity
Purple has been a favorite color of royalty across the ages. Amethysts capture vividly the rich, dark, almost plumy depths of purple like no other gemstone. They were thought to have magical powers in antiquity. Luck and constancy came to those who wore amethysts. Nubian queens in Egypt and Buddhists in Tibet shared a reverence for amethysts. Greek myth says the goddess Diana saved a young maiden named Amethyst from the wrath of Dionysus, god of wine, by turning her into pure quartz. Diana's tears stained the stone purple.Your Flower(s)
