CUPID'S GEM:
Amethyst, February Birthstone
Set in Ancient Greek Legend
Spring Beauties in
Navy Calf or Suede

February's birthstone, the ame-
thyst, was said to be the favorite
gem of St. Valentine, which makes
it particularly appropriate in mod-
ern times, when couples and
friends observe St. Valentine's
Day with expressions of senti-
ment.
Amethysts, varying in color
from palest violet to deep purple,
are found principally in the Si-
berian Urals or in the mines of
Brazil, Ceylon and Madagascar,
reports t h e Jewelry Industry
Council.
The gem was said to be the fa-
vorite jewel of Catherine the
Great and Queen Charlotte. They
appear today in the Coronation
service of English kings and the
Prince of Wales. They are also
the tradition l gems for bishops'
rings.
The amethyst is set in a legend
of passion and repentence.' Bac-
chus, the ancient Greek god of
wine, as the story goes, was feud-
ing with Diana, goddess of the
hunt and patroness of maidens.

Diana's, Bacchus vowed to revenge
himself by sacrificing to his tigers
the first maiden to approach
Diana's altar.
It was Amethyst, a beautiful
young maiden, who approached
Diana's shrine after this threat
had been made. But as the tigers
leaped to devour' the woman, Di-
ana intervened and turned her
into a statue of pure white stone.
Repenting his cruel intention,
Bacchus poured a libation of wine
over the young maiden's statue,
turning it a delicate purplish-
violet hue.
