Through the ages, amethyst has symbolized peace, protection and tranquility and has even been believed to prevent baldness and improve the complexion. It has been attributed the ability to protect its wearer from treason and deceit. Perhaps the most interesting folklore surrounding the amethyst came from the Greeks who believed it to be the stone of sobriety and would prevent intoxication when worn. Regardless, it is a beautiful gemstone, ranging in color from lilac to black-purple and is durable enough to wear every day. It is the accepted birthstone for February and the anniversary stone for the sixth year of marriage.
