OCTOBER'S BIRTHSTONE
Each month is connected to one or two birthstones, and it's said to bring luck when wearing your own birthstone. You can also wear the birthstone of someone you care about as a token of your love. October has two birthstones - Tourmaline and Opal.
The Tourmaline also carries a unique symbolism, symbolising tolerance and compassion. It's said that it focuses on understanding - both of yourself and of others. Tourmaline is also a confidence stone, full of inspiration and positive energy.
A RAINBOW OF COLOURS
It's the Tourmaline's many, bold colours which makes it especially sought-after. Tourmalines with multiple colours in a single gemstone is not unusual either.
Spiritually, it's said that the effect of the Tourmaline differs depending on which colour you carry.
Depending on which colour Tourmaline you wear, the stone is connected to different chakras. The green Tourmaline is connected to your heart-chakra and opens up for more self-compassion.
