Individuals in the market for a gemstone often ask themselves, ‘What gemstone best represents me?’ Gemstones, whether precious or semi-precious, are hard not to love; but what makes a person choose one stone over another? From shiny to matte; colorless and bold-colored; durable and more delicate. However, there’s more to a gemstone than meets the eye. Each gem possesses attributes that can reflect one’s qualities. So, what is your gemstone? By taking a look at the following gemstone-meaning chart, you will be able to answer this pressing question.
Amethyst (February Birthstone):
Amethysts are semi-precious gemstones with a noteworthy purple coloring. They are a variety of quartz, and rank 7 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Because these stones are found in abundance, primarily in South America and Africa, they are more affordable than other gemstones. Those attracted to this royal color are often people in search of calmness and serenity, which amethysts provide.
