Let's learn more about gemstones for zodiac signs.

Amethyst's place in history and its connection to Valentine's Day

Although the 14th of February was originally a Christian holiday, it has been observed as a day to honor and remember Saint Valentine for many years. On this same day in 270 A.D., Emperor Claudius II beheaded the holy priest.

Because soldiers were fiercely devoted to their wives and families and the emperor was thought to be ruthless, it was difficult for him to recruit them to his military league. He outlawed all marriages and engagements in Rome to address this issue.

Valentine disobeyed the government's ban and proceeded to execute this holy rite for young lovers in secret because he believed that marriage was a gift from God. Roman myths claim that Valentine himself wore a purple amethyst ring with a carving of Cupid on it. Because of this, the Roman troops were able to identify him and request his marriage services. When Valentine's deeds were eventually revealed, he was arrested and given a death sentence.

After that, marriage proposals on Valentine's Day skyrocketed in popularity. Looking back, we can see how St. Valentine, Cupid, and forbidden love all contributed to the transformation of amethyst into the "couple's stone." Additionally, it was thought to deepen the emotional bond between lovers and improve the relationship.
