Amethyst

Amethyst

Amethyst is the birthstone for February, and comes in shades of purple, lilac or mauve. A beautiful clear gem which was also popular in Victorian times. As the gem is tilted and rotated it will show a bluish or reddish purple tinge when viewed.

It also has its own folklore, as is said to ‘guard against drunkeness and instil a sober and serious mind’. A popular gemstone found set in modestly priced silver jewellery to more elaborate 18ct gold pieces, making it a suitable gift for all pockets. Check instore for more.
