Amethyst is the official birthstone of February. It forms in silica-rich liquids deposited in geodes and is generally found in clusters of crystal points. Metaphysical Properties: This stone's name is derived from the Greek word amethystos, meaning "not drunken." People of ancient times believed it to protect the wearer from drunkenness. Today, this gemstone is believed to promote happiness.
Because gemstones are natural materials, appearances may vary from piece to piece. Each strand includes approximately 24 beads. Our amethyst beads have nice, deep color, but may show natural inclusions.
