OPAL
OCTOBER BIRTHSTONE
Opal, the birthstone for October, is admired for its mesmerizing play of colors and soft, milky glow. It represents hope, purity, and truth, and is thought to inspire creativity and emotional expression. Opals come in various forms, like white, black, and fire opals, each with unique features. These gems are created over time as rainwater seeps into the earth, and under pressure and heat, transforms into the dazzling stones we cherish. Alongside opal, tourmaline is also an October birthstone, offering a stunning array of vibrant color combinations.
October's birthstone can be found worldwide, but more than 90% of the world's opal supply comes from Australia. Black opal, the rarest of all opals, is exclusively mined in Lightning Ridge, Australia. White opals, a more common opal, is found in South Australia. The boulder and matrix opals are both found in Queensland, Australia. It's no wonder that the opal is the national gemstone of Australia!
