Looking to find out which birthstone corresponds to February? The Heloise & Abelard Guide tells you more about each birthstone and...amethyst!

Février : Améthyste

February: Amethyst

February's birthstone is amethyst.

 

The word comes from ancient Greek and the verb methúô ("to be drunk") because it has the color of wine mixed with water.
The Romans liked to serve wine in amethyst goblets to, they thought, protect themselves from intoxication. There is also a reference to amethyst in the Bible.

 
Amethyst was rare in antiquity. It was not until the early 20th century and the discovery of important deposits in Brazil and Uruguay that it became a more common stone.
