Those born in October enjoy two spectacular birthstones to

commemorate their birthdays – opal and tourmaline.

Opal gemstones are truly unique because each individual gem is

adorned with a one-of-a-kind colour combination. There is the

beautiful Ethiopian Opal as well as the traditional milky white Opal.

Use the latter for stimulation of the crown chakra and to help clear

your heart and emotions. Ethiopian Opal is believed to enhance

inspiration and creativity, and to protect the wearer against negativity.

Opal also comes in a variety of other colours. Pink Opal is a love stone

with a deep connection to the Heart Chakra. It works to heal our

emotions, allowing our hearts to open to love. Pink Opal is often

referred to as “The Stone of Resolution” as it works to heal our

emotional wounds and deep hidden fears enabling us to resolve and

let them go.

Tourmaline is a favourite gemstone for many because it’s available in

a rainbow of beautiful colours. Black Tourmaline is one of the most

powerful grounding stones and Green Tourmaline is an ideal crystal

for opening the heart chakra. Watermelon Tourmaline can be used in

any type of energy work, including meditation, crystal grids, gem elixir

creation, and more.
