Opal - Birthstone for Octoberposted on 4October2012 | posted in Birthstones"October's child is born for woe, And life's vicissitudes must know, But lay an opal on her breast, And hope will lull those woes to rest." Opal is the birthstone for October and is the stone of love, but only to faithful lovers the opal will bring misfortune to an unfaithful lover. It is common superstition is that opal is unlucky to buy for yourself unless you are born in October. For the wearer of the Opal it is said to be many things including a powerful healing stone, the stone of hope, the stone of great achievement and even the "stone of the Gods". Opal is good for bestowing beauty, power and for financial prosperity and for those in business, particularly connected with travel and tourism and imports/exports. It is also worn for personal charm of the wearer and for those wishing to have extra sexual powers. If it grows dull after use, it should be discarded or replaced by a new gem. It is called the queen of gemstones and has been treasured since times immemorial for its extraordinary beauty. Opal was formed many millions of years ago, when a combination of silica and water flowed into cracks and spaces in the ground. This then gradually hardened and solidified to become opal. Opals contain water, which makes them very sensitive to heat. It is a shining gemstone and comes in different hues and colors like black, red, yellow and white combined together.
