There are two beautiful birthstones for the month of October: Opal and Pink Tourmaline. These two stunning gems bring beautiful colours and unique healing properties into play, making them perfect for those looking to make the most out of them.
Opal is a beautiful gemstone renowned for its iridescent play of colours that include: white, pink, black, beige, blue, yellow, brown, orange, red, green, and purple. The element for this mesmerising stone is water. Opal is also a 14th Anniversary gemstone. Opals are believed to bring loyalty and faithfulness to relationships.
Opal is an emotional stone which reflects the mood of the wearer. It intensifies emotions and releases inhibitions, helping to release negativity and claim self worth, and promoting emotional healing. Opal stimulates originality. It can help one to explore their creative potential, aiding and expressing one’s true self. Opal encourages both freedom and independence.
Opal is often associated with spiritual growth and transformation. It enhances cosmic consciousness and induces psychic and mystical visions.
There are two varieties of Pink Tourmaline: Light Pink Tourmaline, also known as Elbaite, and Pink Tourmaline which is known as Rubellite.
Pink Tourmaline is associated with love, compassion, and promotes feelings of joy and an enthusiasm for life. Light Pink Tourmaline acts to stimulate both the crown and heart chakras, forming a union of love and spirituality. Light pink tourmaline facilitates the attainment of love and promotes joy and peace during periods of growth and change. It assists in the attainment of peace and understanding, trust and awareness, and love.
Dark pink tourmaline activates the qualities of the base chakra and provides physical energy and vitality to the physical body. It stimulates the healing qualities of the heart and the associated attributes of loving consciousness.
Pink Tourmaline is also linked to spiritual growth. It enhances intuition and guides one to understand the connection between self and “All That Is”.
When selecting an October birthstone, think about the recipient and what comes to mind about them. Opal is perfect for someone who is looking for emotional healing or wanting to explore their creative side, while Pink Tourmaline will appeal to someone looking to heal their heart. Of course don’t just stick with these two gems, if you are drawn to something else go with it!
