PROPERTIES OF STONES (information compiled from numerous sources): One interesting property of amethyst, going back to ancient Roman times, is that it prevents drunkenness. In fact, the name comes from the Greek word "amethystus", meaning not drunken. Otherwise, amethyst is considered to provide calm, balance, patience and peace. Amethyst is February's birthstone.
