I do not see why Geminis can't. I am a Gemini with an Aquarius moon and Amethyst is one of my favorite stones. Amethyst is usually associated with Aquarius, but I think that if you have a strong influence in your chart of certain signs, you will be drawn to certain stones . Hope this helps :)
Amethyst
The amethyst is a relatively common gemstone, which means it is great for making jewelry. Many different kinds of jewelry use it for its notable purple color. Also, mineral collectors like to collect it in crystal form and in geode sections (when a rock is cut open to show amethysts growing on the inside); the deeper the purple color, the more valuable it is considered. Throughout history, the amethyst has also had several uses. The word amethyst actually comes from the Greek "a" (not) + "methustos" (intoxicated), from ancient Greek times when people believed amethyst would prevent drunkenness- wine goblets were often made out of amethyst for this reason. Also, medieval European soldiers wore amethyst amulets because then it was believed amethysts could heal people and keep them cool-headed.
