Amethyst: The February Birthstone of Serenity & Spiritual Strength
When it comes to February birthstones, Amethyst stands out as a stone of deep spiritual wisdom, protection, and emotional healing. At LOVE SARO, we celebrate Amethyst not only for its stunning purple hues but for its ability to bring peace, clarity, and balance in times of uncertainty. Whether you’re seeking calm in the midst of chaos or a tangible connection to something greater, Amethyst is a powerful ally.
A Gem with Ancient Wisdom
Amethyst has been revered for centuries, from ancient Greek mythology to royal European crowns. Its name comes from the Greek word amethystos, meaning “not intoxicated,” as it was believed to prevent drunkenness and promote a clear mind. Greeks would often put powdered Amethyst in their wine to reduce levels of intoxication. Beyond its legendary sobriety benefits, Amethyst has long been associated with spiritual growth, intuition, and emotional balance. It’s a stone of higher consciousness, often used in meditation and energy healing to quiet the mind and open the heart.
Why Wear Amethyst?
Known as a stone of protection and tranquility, Amethyst is believed to help soothe anxiety, ease stress, and bring clarity during emotional turbulence. It’s particularly powerful for those managing loss, grief, depression, and anxiety, offering a gentle yet profound sense of support. If you’re navigating deep emotions or seeking a moment of stillness in your day-to-day life, Amethyst serves as a beautiful reminder that you are held, supported, and not alone.
For February birthdays, Amethyst symbolizes strength, wisdom, and spiritual connection. Wearing it is like carrying a personal sanctuary—one that reminds you to breathe, trust, and find light even in the darkest moments.
A Personal Connection: Amethyst in Action
One of the most profound experiences I’ve had with Amethyst came long before we officially offered our In Memory creation sessions. A client traveled from out of state to see me, just days after losing her child. The weight of that grief was unimaginable. At the time, my own son, Jack, was the same age her son had been when he passed, just days before we met. The energy in the room was beyond heavy—it was sacred, raw, and deeply emotional.
We chose Amethyst for her piece, as it was also coincidentally her son’s birthstone. As we prepared to weld her bracelet, I asked if I could call her child in, and she agreed. The moment I did, the power in the studio flickered off and then immediately back on, as if he was letting us know he was there. We burned palo santo to ground ourselves, and the smoke formed a circular halo above us, lingering for nearly two minutes as we sealed the piece onto her wrist. It was a moment neither of us would ever forget—an unspoken confirmation that love and connection transcend this world. This was a very transformative session for me as a healer and a mother, and this powerful healing gemstone has held a special place inside of me ever since.
