February: Amethyst
Wine and royalty
The deep purple is due to a combination of iron and other metals within its crystal structure, and natural radiation.
The resulting hue is associated with royalty and wine, with amethyst thought to protect against intoxication.
Until the 18th century, amethysts rivalled sapphires, emeralds and rubies in value.

View allRock-solid relationships
Diamond gets its name from the Greek 'adamas', meaning 'unconquerable'. It's so hard, it can only be cut with the help of another diamond.
Originally found in river beds, they were only mined from the late 1860s.
Diamonds are rated on the 4 Cs: color, clarity, cut and carat weight.
