Elegant and iridescent opal is the traditional birthstone for those born in October. Legend has it that the opal aids inner beauty, faithfulness and can help the wearer recall past lives (if you really want to know about your past lives.) The opal is complex and comes in a variety of different colors – from black to white and all shades in between. The opal is said to ensure fidelity and confidence, in addition to sharpening the mind and emotions. The opal is especially good for the eyes.
