Amethyst/ Amatista!

By
MorninBlossom
Necklace Amethyst Lucky Star !

The gemstone Amethyst is the birthstone for February. It is also the Zodiac stone for the constellation of Pisces. Amethyst is associated with spirituality, wisdom, sobriety, and security.

Amethyst is the purple variety of the mineral quartz and is a popular gemstone.

La gema Amatista es la piedra del mes de febrero. También es la piedra zodiacal del signo Piscis. La amatista es asociada con espiritualidad, inteligencia, sobriedad y seguridad.

La amatista es una variedad del mineral cuarzo y es muy popular entre las piedras semipreciosas.

The ancient Greeks believed that this gemstone held many powers, among them protection against intoxication. In fact, the word Amethyst comes from the Greek word "amethystos," meaning sober. In ancient Greece, the gemstone was associated with the god of wine, and it was common practice to serve this beverage from Amethyst goblets in the belief that this would prevent overindulgence.
Los antiguos griegos creían que esta piedra tenia muchos poderes, entre ellos protección contra intoxicación. De hecho, la palabra Amatista proviene de la palabra griega “amethystos” que significa sobriedad. En la antigua Grecia, esta piedra estaba asociada al dios del vino, y era común servir dicha bebida en copas de Amatista para prevenir sobre indulgencia.


February's purple birthstone has been found among the possessions of royalty throughout the ages. The intense violet hue of Amethyst was associated to wealth and power, and so it was reserved for the garments of kings and queens. Amethyst has been found in ruins dating as far back as the ninth century, adorning crowns, scepters, jewelry, and breastplates worn into battle.
La piedra del mes de febrero se ha encontrado entre las posesiones de la realeza a través de los años. El intenso color violeta de la Amatista era sinónimo de poder y dinero, por lo que era reservado para la vestimenta de la realeza. La Amatista se ha encontrado en ruinas del siglo nueve adornando coronas, cetros, joyería y armaduras.
