Welcome to our store! Our goal is to share our passion for nature and history as you explore the site.

FEBRUARY SPOTLIGHT

 “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.” – Helen Keller

Amethyst

The birthstone of February, Amethyst's range of purple hues brings warmth and lightness to the otherwise gray month.

Its name comes from the Greek word "amethystos," meaning "not intoxicated," as it was believed to protect its wearer from drunkenness.
