Unlike most gemstones, October’s birthstone, the opal, isn’t defined by a single colour. Instead, it’s a captivating dance of light, a mesmerising play of rainbow hues trapped within its silica structure.  Ancient Romans believed opals held all the colours of other gemstones within them, making them a symbol of hope, purity, and prophecy. In Hindu mythology, opals were associated with the goddess of love and pleasure, Lakshmi, symbolising passion and desire.

Opals can be unearthed all over the world, but some of the most beautiful can be found right here in Australia. Coober Pedy in South Australia is known as the opal capital of the world, and Lightning Ridge in New South Wales is also particularly famous.

Metaphysically, opals are said to stimulate creativity, self-expression, and inner harmony. Their ever-shifting colours are believed to reflect the wearer's emotions, making them a captivating conversation starter.
