Suddenly it is cooler and the leaves are changing colors-there was even snow in the mountains not too far from here the other day.

Yes, October is here. And with October comes a new Birthstone. It is actually the perfect birthstone for this month as the leaves change, and we see color everywhere. Opals have within them all the colors of the rainbow locked within.
Many Ancient Cultures have revered Opal.
Ancient Romans believed that Opals contained all of the light of Precious Gemstones within...
“You will see the living Fire of Ruby,
Glorious Purple of Amethyst,
Sea Green of Emerald,
all glittering together in an incredible mixture of light.”
Pliny, 200BC
Australian Aborigines believed that the Creator came to Earth with a Message of Peace. Walking upon a Rainbow Road, every place that his foot touched the ground small tangible pieces of that Rainbow Road were left. There must have been locations where the Creator lingered longer than others. These Opal Outcroppings became sacred spots to the Aborigines.
Throughout History Opals have been prized for their flashes of Color.
As a Stone of HOPE.
As a Stone of FORTUNE.
A Symbol of PURITY.
Whether your Birthstone or not a definite must have for any Collector of Gems/Jewelry.
