February Birthstones

Birthstones make wonderful gifts and people born in February have a choice of some beautiful February birthstones. The two February star signs are Aquarius and Pisces. Both signs have a wide range of stones assigned to them so I have picked out the ones that I feel are best suited to these star signs. If you were born in this month, February birthstones are a great way to get in touch with the true meaning of you sign. They can be used for meditation, crystal healing or simply as a point to focus on when you need to relax.

Aquarius February Birthstones

Aquarius is the first sign in February and it is from January 20th until February 19th. Aquarius is a water sign and it is symbolised by the Water Bearer, often identified with the Greek mythic figure of Ganymede. Three of its birthstones are amethyst, hematite and jade. Each stone has a very different set of attributes but they all represent the free-thinking and sociable nature of Aquarius.

Pisces February Birthstones

The second sign in February is Pisces, which runs from February 19th to March 20th. Pisces is symbolised by the Two Fish and ruled by Neptune. The Two Fish come from the Greek myth of how Aphrodite and her son Eros transformed themselves into fish to escape the monster Typhon. Fluorite, turquoise and aquamarine are three of the most beautiful Pisces birthstones. They are associated with the sensitive and imaginative yet prudent spirit of Pisces.

Crystal carvings are a great way to bring natural crystals into your home.

These carvings make excellent gifts and many are inexpensive, so you can always treat yourself to something special.

Buddha Crystal Carvings

Colourful crystals are the perfect medium for Buddha carvings. Laughing Buddha figurines are based on ancient designs and they are a great gift, especially in a new home. The laughing Buddha spreads joy and happiness wherever he goes. It is said that Buddha statues inspire us to develop our inner qualities and by doing so achieve good fortune, happiness and satisfaction in our lives.

These swan carvings have a wonderfully graceful shape. The smooth curves of the swan show off the natural beauty of the crystal and allows light to pass through translucent crystal. These carvings come in two sizes and they make a very stylish ornament in any room.

Other crystals associated with love are: rhodochrosite, said to enhance communication within relationships; opalite, associated with fidelity and ruby fuchsite, which is associated with devotion, passion and romance.

Zodiac Birthstones

Zodiac birthstones are a wonderful way to unlock the power of crystals and start exploring your zodiac sign. Each of the twelve zodiac signs is associated with many different zodiac birthstones, from the most popular stones to obscure stones and stones specifically for people who are on the cusp of their star sign.

The idea of birthstones as we know them today grew out of Judeo-Christian traditions. Birthstones were first mentioned by Josephus in the 1st century AD and St Jerome in the early 5th century. They are described as set into the High Priest’s Breastplate and later as the foundation stones of New Jerusalem. People first started to wear zodiac birthstones as jewellery in 18th Century Poland and Germany. This soon became popular and many people all over the world keep their birthstone close to them or wear it as jewellery.

How To Use Zodiac Birthstones

There are many ways that you can use and enjoy your zodiac birthstone. Small birthstones like the one pictured above are particularly versatile. It is believed that keeping your birthstone within your aura will unlock its power, so the best way is to wear them as jewellery or keep them on your person. You can focus on your birthstone during meditation, use it to explore your star sign, access the positive attributes of your sin or just display it at home, preferably near your bed desk or main living area.

Crystal jewellery gives you not only a lovely piece of jewellery but also a great way to give and wear healing crystals. I have picked out some of my favourite pieces of jewellery, with two of our most popular crystals: amethyst and turquoise.

Amethyst Crystal Jewellery

Amethyst is a very popular crystal for jewellery and it is easy to see why. It displays beautiful colour and has a lovely shine, especially when faceted and polished. In crystal healing, amethyst is said to have a very soothing effect and a powerful healing energy. Amethyst crystal jewellery is surprisingly affordable and makes a great gift for Christmas. My personal preference is for amethyst with a deep colour but the paler varieties of amethyst are also very beautiful and give very glamorous sparkle.

Turquoise Crystal Jewellery

Turquoise crystal jewellery is always a great choice for Christmas gifts. Turquoise has been prized but Native American culture for thousands of years for luck and protection. I have to say that turquoise is one of my favourite crystals because it just looks wonderful. It is traditionally paired with silver, which really highlights the colour of the crystal jewellery.

Beautiful Amethyst Jewellery

If you are looking for an extra special Christmas gift for someone special, I recommend you take a look at amethyst jewellery. Amethyst is a beautiful gemstone and here at Crystal Age we have an excellent range of amethyst jewellery to suit any budget. Amethyst is found in a few different colours but in my opinion, purple amethyst will always be the most glamorous. There is something about the depth of colour and shine that you get with fine amethyst that just lights up your whole look. Amethyst is not a very expensive gemstone, so amethyst jewellery often gives you a very stylish, impressive looking piece at a low price.

Healing Power of Amethyst

In crystal healing, amethyst is believed to have a powerful and soothing healing energy. It is said to soothe away stress and clear the mind, allowing us to attain a greater understanding and spirituality. It is believed to heal the entire body, relieving pain and strengthening the immune system. Amethyst is the birthstone for Pisces, Virgo, Aquarius and Capricorn. It is aligned with Ajna, the Third Eye Chakra. This chakra is a seat of learning and spirituality, which reflects the deeply spiritual nature of this gemstone.

Amethyst Jewellery Picks

We have a wide choice of amethyst jewellery but below are three of my favourite pieces. I’m a big fan of gemstone pendants because they let the beauty of the stone shine through. Both these amethyst pendants contains stones with a lovely rich, vibrant purple and they come alive with colour when the light hits them. The amethyst trilogy ring is also a delightful piece, featuring a large purple amethyst flanked by two clear topaz.
