Amethyst  Amethyst's name is derived from "amethystos," which means "not drunk" in Ancient Greek, because it was thought that amethysts would help a person maintain sharp wits in both business & battle. Commonly associated with royalty because of its purple coloring, Amethyst has been used for centuries to symbolize deep love, happiness, humility, sincerity, & wealth. It is associated with the 7th Chakra, also known as the Crown Chakra, located at the top of the head, which represents the energy & spiritual center of the body. Amethyst is also connected to the zodiac signs of Capricorn, Pisces, Aquarius, & Virgo, & it is considered the birthstone for February.

Rhodochrosite In varying shades of dark pink, Rhodochrosite is the national stone of Argentina and the official stone of the state of Colorado. Ancient Incan myths connect the stone to Canqui Tupac, the warrior who crossed the perilous obstacles of Lake Titicaca only to meet the beautiful priestess Nusta Ajlla & fall in love. Their love forbidden by the Incan emperor, Canqui & Nusta eloped & lived happily ever after. Rhodochrosite is said to have formed where Nusta was eventually buried. Rhodochrosite is believed to support feelings of compassion, deeper emotional connections, & openness to love without judgment or expectations, so naturally it is thought to open the 4th Chakra, or Heart Chakra. It is most closely associated with the zodiac signs of Scorpio & Leo.
