Featured Birthstone of the Month
February - Amethyst
Legend has it that the Greek god of wine, Bacchus, was taken with the charms of the lavender-eyed nymph named Ametho. Ametho chose to embrace the ways of the chaste goddess Diana instead of the Bacchanalian life.
Bacchus names the wine colored gem after her. He gives to Amethyst gems the power to ward off drunkenness and to calm other passions in honor of the devotion of Ametho to the goddess Diana.
