What is the Birthstone for February? | CHURINGA NAME NECKLACES

HISTORY OF THE FEBRUARY BIRTHSTONE

A purple quartz and stunning blend of violet and red, the amethyst is the second most abundant
material
found in Earth’s crust. Its hardness makes a durable and lasting option for jewelry. Fine amethysts
have
been set in religious jewelry and royal crown jewels for ages, dating as far back as the ninth
century,
appealing to early monarchs. Purple dye was expensive and scarce back then, so it was reserved for
the
garments of kings and queens. The amethyst can be found all over the world, including the United
States,
Brazil, Zambia, and Canada in geodes or in the cavities of granitic rocks.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE FEBRUARY BIRTHSTONE

Because of its wine-like color, early Greek legends associated the amethyst stone with Bacchus, the
god
of wine. Other legends believed that the amethyst kept its wearer clear-headed in battle and
business
affairs. The name comes from the Ancient Greek from the word methustos, which means “intoxicated”.
Because the amethyst is associated with wine, it was believed that wearing the amethyst prevented
drunkenness. The amethyst is not only the February birthstone, but it is also used to celebrate the
6th
and 17th year of marriage.

EXUDING SPIRITUATLITY

As the amethyst is also a symbol of spirituality, it has been used to ornament churches and crosses
as
well as worn in rings and on rosaries by priests and bishops. Such a spiritual stone is a very
meaningful gift to give to a loved one. The Initial Bracelet with
Stone is such a wonderful bracelet to adorn one’s wrists, with the option for one
to
choose their birthstone and initial, carrying a spiritual piece with them on the daily.
