  • Identify And Explain The Difference Between Heartwood And Sapwood

    191 Words  | 1 Pages

February, traditionally, was dedicated by the Romans to Neptune, a god of the water and ocean, whose sacred stone was Amethyst. It is because of this that we later labeled Amethyst the birthstone of February.
