Amethyst's lush color is beautiful all of the time…royal purple by day and a deeper, richer wine at night. In legend, Bacchus, god of wine, created amethyst, giving rise to the ancient belief that wearing an amethyst prevents drunkenness. Amethyst was also a popular choice for adorning religious icons and reliquaries because of its ecclesiastical purple color. Amethyst is the February birthstone.
