Amethyst and St. Valentine's Day

Well here it is the New Year already. Actually February. WOW!! Christmas will be here before we realize it.
February is the month of "love". St. Valentine's Day. A time for chocolate (my fav) and beautiful cards, dinner dates ( my fav again) and small gifts.
The birthstone for February is Amethyst. It's color is as unique as it is seductive. It's said to protect its wearer against seduction. From lavender to dark purple, and from the quartz family, Mose's described it as a symbol of the Spirit of God in the robes of the High Priest of the Jews. Russian popular belief, the amethyst offers protection from drunkeness. (yeah).
So, since Valentine's Day is in 10 days, visit my website and purchase a gift for your loved one.
