Pocket Guide: October’s Birthstones
October Libras & Scorpios—It’s your season!🍁🌙
Here’s your pocket guide on what your birthstones do, how they can help you, and what areas they protect:
Opal
Color: Multicolored, but commonly white
Category: Mineraloid
Features:
- Iridescent
- Soothes head-related pains
- Formed from hard rainwater hitting dry ground
This is your sign to channel your inner creative spirit. As the guardian of the crown chakra, opals serve as a gateway to higher consciousness and thinking. If you’ve been looking for an outlet or holding back on a venture, these gemstones can assist with motivating artistic flow. Opals are known to be protective, bring good luck, and as the “Queen of Gemstones,” they harbor the virtues of other stones, ensuring positive energy that refracts off every facet. Revive your burnout this season by trying journaling prompts while charging your gemstones or wearing it while you’re creating!
Tourmaline
Color: Multicolored
Category: Cyclosilicate
Features:
- Comes in a watermelon color variation
- Becomes electrically charged when rubbed or heated
- Displays color-changing hues depending on their cut
Hoping to tie up loose ends at the end of the year? Tourmalines, the pink variation specifically, are connected to the heart chakra, which allows them to attract gentleness during periods of growth and change. They’re also related to heart matters, helping with mental healing and representing love, empathy, and kindness. Don’t let the colder weather get to your mood—consider keeping a tourmaline charm in your pocket like you would a lucky penny!
