I have plenty of jewelry featuring October’s birthstones (opal<\/a> and tourmaline<\/a>) available now at Lava Jewelry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Opal is a type of quartz that contains water in its crystal structure. It occurs in almost every color imaginable. Some varieties of opal include fire opal, black opal, blue opal, boulder opal, Peruvian opal, and Oregon opal. Opal is a fairly brittle stone, and it tends to break rather easily, especially if heated.<\/p>\n

Tourmaline forms in literally every color. It forms primarily in very large-grained granites called pegmatites, although tourmaline can form in other geologic environments such as hydrothermal veins. It most often forms in very distinctive prismatic-shaped crystals with striations parallel to its long axis.<\/p>\n

From mineralminers.com: “Tourmalines are said to enhance one’s understanding, increase self-confidence and amplify one’s psychic energies. They also are said to neutralize negative energies, dispel fear and grief, and to aid in concentration and communication.
\nTourmalines are also said to be useful in relaxing the body and the mind, and to help in the treatment of infectious diseases, anxiety, blood poisoning, arthritis and heart disease.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
