October's Birthstones
There are two birthstones which represent October. One is Opal and the other, Tourmaline.
The name "Opal" comes from the Sanskrit word for "upala," meaning precious stone. In Indian mythology, the virgin Goddess of the Rainbow was turned into an Opal by the Mother Goddess because she was being chased by suitors Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Of all the minerals, tourmaline exhibits the broadest range of colours. Tourmaline has even been mistaken for rubies and emeralds!
