October has two birthstones – opal and tourmaline. The opal, symbolizes faithfulness and confidence. The word comes from the Latin opalus, meaning precious jewel. Necklaces with opals set in them were worn to repel evil and to protect eyesight. The alternate birthstone for October is the tourmaline, a gemstone that exhibits the broadest spectrum of gemstone colors such as yellow, green, red, blue, pink, brown & black. Compared with other gemstones, tourmalines are a relatively recent discovery. Hence, it lacks the rich lore that accompanies many other precious gems. However, among some people, the stone is known as the “peace stone,” believed to dispel fear and make its wearer calm.
