October Birthstone – Opal and Tourmaline

No two opals are the same. Each one holds its own private world of colour: flashes of red, green, blue, and gold that shift and dance as the light moves. It's the kind of stone you can look at for a long time and still find something new.

October's other birthstone, tourmaline, is just as extraordinary in its own way — one of the most colour-diverse gemstones on earth, ranging from deep pink and watermelon to teal, green, and near-black. If opal is a painting, tourmaline is a whole palette.

Why Opal & Tourmaline?

• Every opal is unique — The play of colour in a fine opal is entirely natural and entirely its own. You're not buying a style — you're buying a specific, irreplaceable stone.
• Australia's own gemstone — Australia produces around 95% of the world's precious opal, making it one of our most treasured natural resources and a deeply meaningful local gift.
• Tourmaline — a stone for every personality — With more natural colour variation than almost any other gem, tourmaline is the perfect choice for someone who knows exactly what they like — or someone who's hard to buy for.
• For October birthdays and beyond — Both stones make beautiful choices for 14th wedding anniversaries, or any occasion where you want to give something genuinely one-of-a-kind.
