Gems by James: October Birthstones Tourmaline and Opal

Posted by Greg Magnus on October 11, 2024 at 07:49 am

October birthstones are Tourmaline and Opal!

Tourmaline: Tourmaline is one of the favorite gemstones among designers and collectors. It occurs naturally in a wide variety of colors and it is known for displaying multiple colors in the same gemstone. One variety is known as watermelon tourmaline, which is green, pink, and white color bands. There are many sources including Brazil, Afghanistan, East Africa, and the USA.

Opal: The name opal is derived from the Greek Opallos meaning to see a change. In the case of opals, the radiance is seen as a change of color. They range in color from milky white to black with flashes of yellow, orange, green, red, and blue.
