October people are in luck – they have two beautiful birthstones, opal and tourmaline. So this time we're not just choosing one, but combining them into two stunningly beautiful pieces of jewelry. Opal is in a class of its own as it is opaque with flashes of color. It is usually cut as a cabochon, which means a flat or curved smooth surface. Tourmaline is usually clear, comes in many colors, and is often faceted to create shine. Opal is a romantic, mysterious gemstone that has captivated people for centuries. Opal's dramatic play of colors has been compared by writers to galaxies, fireworks and volcanoes. The ancient Greeks viewed opal as protection against disease, and Europeans viewed opal as a symbol of purity, hope and truth. Tourmaline, the official gemstone of the Leo zodiac sign, is one of the most colorful gemstones in the world. The word tourmaline is derived from the Sinhalese word turamali, meaning “stone of mixed color”. Pink tourmaline is also known as a perfect expression of love and compassion.
