The perfect birthstone for those born during the month of February is an amethyst.
February is often a cold, dark, and short month for many people around the world.
The amethyst birthstone is a gorgeous, richly colored gemstone, which is a beautiful contrast to this time of year.
As a purple quartz, February’s birthstone color is a beautiful blend of violet and red that can be found in every corner of the world. The name comes from the Ancient Greek, derived from the word methustos, which means “intoxicated.” Ancient wearers believed the gemstone could protect them from drunkenness.
