BIRTHSTONE OF THE MONTH - OPAL

October: Opal – Signifies Hope and Purity

The word Opal comes from the Latin word Upala meaning “precious stone,” and this gem provides the most beautiful blues of the gem kingdom. The ancient Romans believed a person who wore the opal was protected from disease, and opals were often set into the crowns and necklaces of rulers who believed its healing powers would ward off evil. Opals are found mainly in Southern Australia. The opal is the traditional gem for the 14th wedding anniversary, a gift of Opal is symbolic of faithfulness and confidence.
