Amethyst has always been one of my favorite stones. The color can range from a deep, rich purple to beautiful shades of lavender.
Amethyst is considered the birthstone for February, astrologically Amethyst assigned to Aquarius. Long ago people believed amethyst could prevent drunkenness. Drinking from a cup made of amethyst was prescribed, and may also be why we no longer expect amethyst to keep us sober!
Many uses are ascribed to amethyst these days. It is said to quicken the intelligence, reduce tension, lift the spirits, heal the pain of emotional trauma, and secure tranquility. Plus it enhances intuition and insights, and can be used as an aid to meditation. Amethyst is one of the stones for the Sixth Chakra, or Third Eye.
