October has two birthstones-Opal and Tourmaline
Opals are formed in near-surface volcanic rocks, within cavities and cracks. Opals are famous for their "play of colors." The name opal is derived from the Sanskrit word "upala," and the Latin word "opalus," meaning precious stone.
Tourmaline, a gemstone that exhibits the broadest spectrum of gemstone colors. The name of this gemstone is believed to derive from the SInghalese (Sri Lankan) word "toramalli." Tourmaline has an unsual property. When it is warmed or rubbed, it attracts small bits of paper, lint, and ash. Benjamin Franklin used this gem in his studies of electicity. Among some people this stone is known as the "peace stone," believed to dispel fear and make its wearer calm.
