Grape Expectations.
Such a deep and vibrant violet, packed into a bite-size nugget of February's birthstone. In antiquity, Amethyst was believed to prevent drunkenness (the name "Amethyst" means "not drunk" in Greek!). So wine cups were often carved from amethyst, with the face of Dionysus, god of wine, in intaglio. We can't comment on those powers, because this gem is intoxicating!
