Amethyst is thought to be the stone of contentment and to bestow stability, serenity and peace. Amethyst belongs to the quartz family and its variation in colour is largely due to the traces of iron it contains. Amethyst was highly prized in antiquity for its calming effect and the name derived from the Greek amethustos or "non-inebriated". It is often used as a meditation stone to help quieten the mind and as an aid to finding inner peace.
Amethyst is also the birthstone for February.

Legend has it that Amazonite was named by the South American Indians in the 18th century who said it came from a land of women without men and so called it "amazon stone". Formerly amazonite was mined almost exclusively in Russia, but Colorado in the USA is now a major source. Amazonite is a member of the feldspar family and owes its greeny-blue colour to copper deposits. It is believed to encourage self-determination and encourage the wearer to take charge of his or her own life by encouraging clear thinking.
