Hello everyone ^^
It is a mountainous area of ​​Aye Isuzu east.

It's been a long time since I've been in the middle of February.
This February, February 22, 2020 (2nd year of Reiwa) and the double eyes and Daan day, there are many people who are thinking about registering.
We wish you all a wonderful day of departure!

I would like to introduce amethyst, which is the birthstone for February, in connection with such auspicious number 2.

Origin of Amethyst's Interesting Name

The word amethyst comes from the Greek word "amethystos". Meaning don't get drunk.
Bacchus, the god of wine in Roman mythology, holds the key to its name.
Bacchus, the mischievous and alcoholic god, had a bad idea after drinking a lot of alcohol that day as usual.
Let's have the retainers attack the first human we meet now! something like.
Unfortunately, a girl "Amethyst" who serves the goddess of the moon passes by there!
When Amethyst is finally in danger, the Moon Goddess turns Amethyst into stone to protect her.
I thought that if I turned to stone, my retainers would give up because they could not compete.

"Amethyst" turned to stone in this way, but Bacchus, who had cooled down later, poured the wine he had in his hand into the transparent stone out of regret for the sin he had caused.
This is where the amethyst gemstone was born, and when you wear amethyst, you don't get drunk = you don't get drunk in life. So
It can now be worn as a talisman.

Amethyst = purple Why is it purple?

Amethyst has a noble and elegant image, but why is it such a beautiful purple color?
The secret is said to be related to trace amounts of iron.
Amethyst is purple when iron ions are mixed with quartz.

However, there is another type of mineral that contains the same iron ion! That's citrine!

Citrine has the characteristic that when amethyst is heated, it turns into an orange gem called citrine.
I was surprised when I first found out!
It turns out to be a different gem with a completely different color... Jewels are mysterious and interesting! ^^

What did you think?
There are several birthstones depending on the month, but only amethyst is available in February!
For those of you who have February as your birth month, I think you will be able to become a jewel that you have a stronger attachment to.

Pomellato is known as an original jewelry brand that uses delicate gold chains and colored stones.
The founder, Pino Rabolini, was born in Milan, Italy, into a family that has been a goldsmith for a long time.
The brand was launched in 1967. Backed by the technical strength backed by tradition, we proposed innovative jewelry that had never existed before and attracted attention.

The concept is "pret-a-porter". In the fashion world at the time, prêt-à-porter was gaining popularity in place of haute couture as ready-made clothes with high quality and design.
Pomellato was one of the first to incorporate this concept into jewelry, proposing high-quality, highly fashionable, and easy-to-wear collections.
The innovative jewelery caught the attention of the fashionable and discerning Europeans, and was quickly greeted with enthusiasm.
