February's birthstone is Amethyst
Birthstone Charm Square Hoops
The amethyst is a gem enshrined with many legends. For example, based on its original Greek word "amethustos", which means "not drunk", amethyst supposedly has the powers to protect a person from all forms of intoxication. With your amethysts crystal nearby, you stay sharp and alert.
Some legends even go as far as having amethysts to protect from witchcraft and can help center a person's thoughts. Whether these legends have some semblance of truth or not, amethysts have the most fascinating color of all birthstones. It spans a wide range from delicate lilac to rosy violet to royal blue. Some amethysts are pink and green!
For a true amethyst fan, this pair of square hoop earrings gathers all the wonderful colors of our February birthstone.
Crystal Beaded Dreamcatcher
Amethyst is one of those rare gemstones that are traditionally representing two different wedding anniversary years, the 6th and the 17th.
So, whether the romance is at its peak on your 6th year or has mellowed to a sweet friendship on your 17th, you can still get this elaborate pair of earrings for her.
It has sweet cinnabar rose and amethyst-colored crackle beads in a classic dreamcatcher style.
Glass Ball Treasure
Amethyst is a type of quartz and primarily made of silicon dioxide. Unlike other quartz, amethysts have impurities, typically iron, that result in a variety of purple shades. Amethysts are not easy to find because they are secretly ensconced in geodes.
Geodes are normal, even ugly, looking rocks that when cracked open, reveals the beautiful brilliance of amethysts. We do not recommend gifting geodes. But we do recommend this delicate Rhinestone Crystals in a glass ball, accented with teardrop crystal of the same deep amethyst color.
