October Birthstone

Opal is the birthstone for October, and if you were born in this month, you should consider yourself very lucky indeed.
This is a stone that has been highly regarded since the time of the ancient Greeks because it symbolizes purity and hope.
The ancient Romans also considered it an excellent protector against harm and danger. Opals can exist in many different colors. White Opals are white with light sparkles like the colors of the rainbow. Black Opals appear gray, blue, or black because of the ironstone in their composition. Wearing Opal is well worth it, though. For centuries, people have associated this stone with good fortune and good luck
