THE OPAL AND TOURMALINE
presented by Modesty Blaze

Opal is the October birthstone.
It is the gemstone for the 14th year of marriage.

Opals flash and twinkle of many colors.
There are White Opals and Black Opals.
White Opals sparkle with many colors.
Black Opals sparkle with reds,brightgreens,pinks.

Special Powers:
Opals represent hope and innocence.
They were very popular in the Middle Ages,
fascinating in hair combs and barretes.
In the DarkAges, people believed the opal
could make you invisible!
(if you knew the right words to say...)
Opals favor children with many blessings.

The Opal is not hard. It is a fragile stone.
Wipe it gently. No, they are not to be 'soaked'
in water or other chemicals.

Opals are found in
Australia and Mexico. The United States.

TOURMALINE is an October alternative birthstone
and goodluck piece.
Pink Tourmaline is best...keep it close.
Bury a piece in your front and back yards...
and you will be kept safe.

"A woman without a ring is like
perfume without a scent"
maggieblue says that

~also~
"A ring without a stone has to be
heavy silver or gold, preferably gold..."
maggieblue says that too

~also~

Rings on the fingers,
rings on the toes...
but do not think
a ring in the nose.

A jewel in the nose might be nice
a diamond, sapphire, citrine
would suffice.

But pearls in the nose,
that's really a 'Tskkkkkkkkkkkkkk...'
Who has sniffed up a pearl
knows this is a risk!
maggieblue says that too

Au Revoir, Beloved.
