You lucky February people you! Your primary birthstone is Amethyst, which is a beautiful crystal and has been one of my enduring favourites from way back when and the time I first discovered crystals right through to now, those beautiful purple hues are always in my home.
Amethyst is one of the most popular crystals and is easily accessible which is always a bonus. In ancient times it was thought to provide protection against drunkenness, although I do not recommend putting this to the test! But more commonly in modern times it is associated with tranquillity, spiritual awareness and enlightenment, and protection making it a very handy crystal to either wear or have around your home.
But if you’re not an Amethyst freak like me, then you also have other options. Namely Jasper and Onyx, both of which come in a variety of colours shapes and patterns.
Overall, Jasper is associated with grounding and balancing the root chakra as well as protection, stability, and healing. However, it has many variants as well such as Birds Eye, Blue Spot, Dalmatian, Ocean, and Picasso, just to name a few. And each of these carries their own special properties and energy. So, it is suggested to browse and take your time to find which variant resonates with you the best.
When most people hear the word Onyx, Black onyx with it’s beautiful lustrous sheen comes to mind, but it also comes in other colours such as green, red and white. Whatever colour you go for, Onyx is going to look and feel good to wear or have around your home. In Persia it was once custom to wear Onyx to ward off evil, and this sentiment has carried through with it generally being seen as a stone of protection and an absorber of negative energy as well as a generator of strength, will power and emotional wellbeing.
So, you lucky February born people, you have an amazing array of choices if you want to align yourself with gemstones and crystals that are associated with your Birthday.
Happy Birthday, and much love.
