An amethyst can hold many different meanings. Once reserved for royalty, amethysts are known to represent happiness, wisdom and understanding, as well as peace and serenity. They’re also a very romantic gem, once thought to symbolise sincerity and sacred love. Amethysts have a special connection to those born in the month of February, being the feature birthstone for this month. They are also highly sought as anniversary gifts, traditionally given on the sixth and 17th wedding anniversaries—making an amethyst necklace or ring a beautiful choice.   As well as stunning purple hues, there are also light yet vivid shades of green amethyst. The meaning of green amethyst is thought to be deeply rooted in harmony and stability, and has also been believed to represent generosity.
