Amethyst is the birthstone for February. The name refers to purple quartz, and its Japanese name is "purple quartz." It is said that the name comes from the Greek word ``amethystos'', which means not to get drunk, and it also appears in Roman mythology. It is often a fun gemstone to collect with a variety of cuts, as it is often given a special cut.
