October Birthstones

October Birthstones: Opal or Tourmaline

Choose a traditional birthstone or a modern alternative.

October’s birthstones are Opal and Tourmaline, both celebrated for their dazzling colours and rich symbolism. Opal is prized for its mystical play-of-color, while Tourmaline offers a rainbow spectrum of hues, most famously pink. Together, they make October one of the most vibrant birthstone months.

October’s birthstones reflect diversity and creativity. Opal dazzles with its shifting rainbow fire, while Tourmaline offers endless colour choices and emotional symbolism. Together, they embody October’s spirit of vibrancy and individuality.

Opal

Colour: Known for its shifting rainbow hues (play-of-colour), ranging from fiery reds and oranges to greens and blues. Common body colours include white, black, and crystal-clear.
Symbolism: Associated with creativity, emotional expression, and mystery. Ancient Romans admired opals for containing “the finest possible colours” of all gems.
Energy & Beliefs: Believed to inspire imagination, amplify emotions, and bring inspiration. Some traditions saw it as a protective stone, even called the “eye stone” in the Middle Ages.
Accessibility: High-quality opals (especially black opals from Lightning Ridge, Australia) can be rare and valuable. More common white opals are affordable and widely available.
Versatility: Its dramatic play-of-colour makes opal a standout in statement jewellery, from rings to pendants.

Tourmaline

Colour: Found in nearly every colour of the spectrum. Pink tourmaline is the most popular October variety, but green, blue, and multicoloured stones are also common.
Symbolism: Tourmaline symbolises compassion, healing, and balance. Its wide colour range reflects versatility and adaptability.
Energy & Beliefs: Thought to promote emotional healing, reduce stress, and encourage self-confidence. Different colours are linked to different energies (e.g., pink for love, green for vitality).
Accessibility: Generally more accessible, with a wide range of prices depending on colour and clarity. Pink tourmaline is especially popular in jewellery.
Versatility: Its colour diversity allows it to suit nearly any style, from delicate pink tourmaline engagement rings to bold green tourmaline necklaces and our go-to for protection - black tourmaline bracelets.
