Amethyst February Birthstone Live

Years ago, a customer walked into The Bead Gallery and pressed an amethyst palm stone into Jamie's hand. Cool, smooth, heavy enough to mean something. It went on the bathroom counter that night and stayed there for years -- a nightly ritual of holding, breathing, settling down. No intention, no ceremony. Just a purple stone and the quiet it carried. That is what amethyst does. The ancient Greeks named it amethystos -- "the one who is not drunk" -- because they believed it could still a restless mind. They carved drinking vessels from it. Leonardo da Vinci wrote that it sharpened intelligence. Bishops wore it on their rings. For twenty-five centuries, the same stone has been reaching for the same thing: calm the noise, find the clarity, hold steady. This collection is thirteen pieces of that energy. Deep violet rounds so saturated they look black by candlelight. Star-cut facets that scatter light at every angle. Lavender briolettes cut into soft onion drops. Square cushion pillows that feel modern and unexpected. Tumbled nuggets where no two shapes repeat. Sterling silver head pins ready to dangle. And a mala bead mix that pairs amethyst with sugilite for layered purple depth. Every purchase during the live includes a gift -- an amethyst pointed specimen, drilled or undrilled, yours to keep as a pendant or a pocket stone. The same kind of piece that started Jamie's nightly ritual all those years ago. Peace, clarity, calm. Come make something that carries all three.
