It has St. Valentine's Day~ and a birth- stone all wrapped up with ro- mance--the amethyst. It's said that St. Valentine himself liked the amethyst and wore a ring with the gem en- graved with a Cupid. The name amethyst has a romantic origin. Amethyst was a@ young Greek maiden who ac- cidentally became involved with the gods. Bacchus, god of wine, had a violent disagreement with Diana, goddess of the hunt and protector of young maidens. Bacchus vowed to set his ti- gers on the first maiden to appear at Diana's altar. Ame- thyst turned up. To save her Diana turned her into statue of white stone. A repentant Bacchus later poured wine over the statue turning it violet. The amethyst, which ranges from pale violet to deep purple, is right in fashion this winter whether it's your birthstone or not, As ear-rings or a ring it's a fine accessory for all the wine and plum shades that are in style. Roman women prized ame- thysts, believing the stone could ensure their husbands' love. |However, it didn't work at a jlater date for an English queen, |Mary I, who was February born and might have expected some benefits.

Since much of the deep purple variety originally came from Russia, it's not surprising that many of the gems were among the Russian crown jewels. They are the principal precious stones in the crown worn by the queens of Norway.
