The association with royalty makes it popular with the leaders of modern societies also, as it gives them the feeling of being "kings" in their respective areas. Since it is found in different locations around the world, it has become very popular. It is a popular choice as a 17th wedding anniversary gift. As popular as this stone is, it's unsurprising that the holders of many sun signs claim it for their own, and its properties are universal enough that most people can benefit from it. Traditionally, it is assigned most frequently to Aquarius, because for all of the humanitarian and advanced qualities of this sign, one of its keywords is "I know." Amethyst is here to teach us that what we know is but a fraction of what we can experience when we surrender the limitations of knowledge. Amethyst is also frequently assigned to Pisces, and although we prefer aquamarine for this sign, the Piscean tendency to swing from high to low without transition can be eased by amethyst's gentle qualities.
