February is the month of love and Amethyst. Both are associated with Valentine’s Day due to the belief that St Valentine wore an Amethyst ring carved with the image of Cupid, the God of falling in love. It’s said he wore this ring so that the guards would recognize him and ask him to preform their marriage ceremonies. The image of Cupid was also Rome’s legal symbol representing love. Hence a Heavenly match.
These particular factors established Amethyst as the stone of pure love, faithful lovers and fidelity. As the “couple’s stone” it helps manifest deep and soulful emotional connections between lovers. It is also worn to attract love and is the symbol of maturity, creativity and affection.
It’s ability to increase faith and wisdom is credited for bringing diligence to prayer and religious practices while suppressing evil thoughts and evil forces. Amethyst aids the wearer to remain calm and clear headed in daily activities and business while sharpening intelligence, therefore being an aid in being clear headed in making love decisions.
Natural Healing Stones & Crystal’s will go to two major gem and mineral shows during February. Our first stop we will attend the Tucson, Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase in Tucson, AZ. Our second stop will be right here in Las Cruces. Our vendor booth will be set up at the Farm & Ranch Museum Gem & Mineral Show, February 19 and 20.
