| The birthstone for February is amethyst. The Greek word amethyst probably means "not drunken" since it was once thought to have many supernatural powers and could be worn as an amulet against drunkenness. The amethyst is the most highly valued stone in the quartz group. Its color ranges from violet to pale red-violet and is found in alluvial deposits, mostly in Brazil, Uruguay and Malaysia. The amethyst is a 7 on the Mohs' hardness scale. | ||||||||||||||||
