February Birthstone Color

Amethysts are a type of quartz often found in geodes amidst cooled lava.

Their purple coloring runs the gamut from reddish purple to a bluish lilac.

The finest quality is a strongly saturated reddish purple to dark
purple as long as the stone does not become too dark to see
its brightness.
