conulyShe didn't have to tell us she liked garage sales! She sent us many things from garage sales. Quite a lot of them were purple, like, so much more than you'd expect.
When I was still pretty young she sent me a chunk of amethyst. Amethyst, as you know, is purple. She sent it to me because it's my birthstone.
Some years later I looked it up and found out that it's not. Amethyst is the birthstone for February. I was born January 31. My birthstone is garnet!
I suppose if I had to have a chunk of unshaped, unpolished stone I'd rather have amethyst anyway. Raw garnet looks like a rock. Raw amethyst looks like a crystal. Garnet is a lot easier to spell, though. I had to keep backspacing and fixing "amyt- no, that's not right" when I made this post.
