October Birthstone Guide: Opals & Astrology

October Birthstone Guide: Opals & Astrology

Do you feel that? October is here! Along with the fall feels comes another birthstone guide to kick off the month. October is all about the opal, and we’ve previously shared some interesting facts and rings of ours that rock this month’s birthstone. This time around, we’re going to have a little fun and share some astrology and what the opal can bring into your life. Let’s get started!

What Is An Opal?


Before we hop into all things astrology and opals, let’s share some info about the gemstone for those that may not be familiar with it. An opal is a beautiful stone that shows off iridescent colors in all types of light! 
There are not one, but TWO, types of opals out there: common and precious. The unique thing about precious opals is that they have a unique attribute called play-of-color. What’s that you may ask? When light hits the stone, the opal's sub-microscopic spheres put on a light show and emit rainbow flashes for all to see! How cool is that?!
This birthstone ranks anywhere from a 5 to a 6.5 on Mohs scale, so it is a bit on the more delicate side. With mindful wear, your precious opal piece will be able to last for years to come!

Quick History


Opals have a unique origin story that we have previously went into detail in our original opal blog post. It is said that the stone was very unlucky. In fact, many people stopped purchasing and wearing opal jewelry because of this! However, that is not the case as this stone bears many positive and helpful qualities. 

Opals & Astrology 


Associated with the planet Venus, opals align with the zodiac signs Libra & Taurus! When everything aligns, this powerful gemstone can bring a whole lot of good into your life. Hence why it is said that this stone will bestow the “power of life” upon you. How fitting! For this stone to be effective, the wearer must rock their opal ring on the center finger of your dominant hand.
When you wear this stone, it will ignite love and affection in you and you will be able to reciprocate that to those special people in your life. This will make you, and them, feel good on the inside!
