Opal and Tourmaline are the October birthstones. Tourmaline is believed to have derived its name from the word Toramalli meaning something that is out of the earth. The Sri Lankan term applied to all green, brown or yellow stones. Opals range in color from milky white to black, with flashes of yellow, orange, green, red, and blue.
Opal derives its name from the Greek word Opallos, which is to mean a change of color. Other sources indicated that the term was derived from the Sanskrit word Upala.

October Birthstone Color
The two October birthstones have a vibrant spectrum of colors, so they give charm and beauty to any jewelry they’re featured in. These dual-colored gems are prized across the world and are in high demand for their unique hue combinations and crystal structures.
The October birthstone is closely packed in spherical layers to create three-dimensional spaces thus lending radiance and intensity to the stone. Opal exhibits an array of colors. The metals and impurities present in the crystal structure are often responsible for the end color to the gemstone. For example, pink opals are as a result of the presence of manganese while the green opals are a result of the presence of vanadium.
The internal structure of the opal causes the stone to diffract light while exhibiting a range of colors. Depending on the conditions under which the stone is created, it can exhibit different birthstone colors. This is often achieved thermally. Opal hues range from clear and white to red, yellow, orange, blue, green, magenta, pink, rose, gray, slate, brown, black and olive.
The crystal opal is transparent with a bright spectrum of colors while the fire opal is translucent with bold hues of yellow, orange and red. Opal gemstones with red hues against black are the rarest and the most expensive; the green and white opals are the commonest and the less expensive gemstones.
Tourmalines display a wide spectrum of colors from yellow, blue, pink, red, green, black, and brown. A few stones are also dual-colored with their green outer edges slowly transitioning to transparent layer with a pink or red core.
