If you are October born or have a loved one or friend who is, then you have an amazing gift to give yourself/them. Two stunning birthstones to choose from… Tourmaline and Opal.
Tourmaline is the favourite gemstone for many because of its rainbow of beautiful colours, while Opal gemstones are truly unique because each individual gem is adorned with a one-of-a-kind colour combination.
