Opal

October Birthstone

As an October baby you get two gemstones in your kitty, opal and tourmaline. The word opal originated from the Greek word ‘opallios’ which means ‘to see a change in colour’. Displaying all the colour found in the rainbow on changing its position, the gemstone fills your heart with wonder. The word Tourmaline originates from ‘tura mali’ in Sinhalese meaning ‘mixed coloured stone’. A single tourmaline can display two and sometimes three different hues, this is because it is a group of different minerals. The most stunning variety of tourmaline is the watermelon tourmaline. It has a pink hue at the core and green on outer edges. Learn more about Opal
