I'm really curious about my birthstone properties - should I consider myself lucky to have it as my birthstone?

Your birthstone is Amethyst. It was a stone once very popular among royals because of its purple color. Purple was a color worn by royalty because of its rarity--it was a dye very scarce and expensive. The stone is often linked to symbols of religious peity, loyalty, protection and power in overcoming hardships, and also to spirtuality.

Your birthstone is NOT gravel (whoever said that obviously knows nothing about the topic). It is amethyst.Amethyst is a purple gem and it is very popular. The word in Greek means "without drunkness." The reason could refer to the wine-esque colors that they found the gemstone in, or to the alleged drunkenness-alleviating qualities the gem possessed.
Healers and new-agers believe that Amethyst has the ability to transform low energies into high. Mentally, it is believed to soothe the minds of those who are engaged in rigorous mental activity. In addition to several more qualities the Amethyst possesses, it is believed to help its owner understand and accept transcendental concepts, such as death and rebirth.
