October Birthstone: Opal
October’s stones are opal and tourmaline. The Collection holds both.
Opal is silica spheres in a lattice, and it holds water. The rolling colour is diffraction off those spheres, so no two opals play alike.
The Optics
Opal's play-of-colour comes from light diffracting through orderly stacked spheres of silica.
