Light amethyst, a soft lavender version of the traditional purple amethyst, has
become a popular modern birthstone for June, often paired with or replacing
June's primary (but rare) stone, Alexandrite, offering a more accessible, gentle-
hued purple alternative symbolizing peace and calm. While February's
birthstone is classic deep purple amethyst, light amethyst brings a summer-
vibe, floral-inspired touch for June birthdays.
