*Jewelers of America Standardized February Birthstones Traditional & Modern:

Traditional: Amethyst Alternate: less expensive substitute - Onyx

Amethysts can be damaged from exposure to heat and sunlight. The heat may cause the color to deteriorate. Avoid contact with chemicals like household cleaners or hairspray. To clean, use a soft toothbrush or cloth and a solution of mild dish soap and warm water to gently scrub the stone. You may also clean the stones with an ultrasonic unit.

Onyx is hardy, although the stone can crack if hit too hard. Exposure to excessive sunlight and harsh chemicals should probably be avoided. If onyx is set in a metal, the setting should be checked periodically to make sure that it is not loose. Onyx beads may benefit from periodic cleaning and polishing to remove grime, and should be taken to a jeweler for cleaning.

* Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, gives this information about birthstones:
There have been many different sets of birthstones used throughout history and in different cultures. In 1912, in an effort to standardize them, the American national association of jewelers, Jewelers of America, officially adopted the following list; it is currently the most widely used list in the United States and many other locations, including Australia and Thailand.
