Friday 5: Tourmaline Gemstones Straight From a Rainbow

Those born in the month of October have the great fortune to have not one, but two beautiful birthstones. The opal, a firecracker of a gemstone that holds within itself a bouquet of color, and the tourmaline, available in such a variety of bright colors that, legend has it, can be attributed to its journey through a rainbow. Those who call tourmaline their birthstone have their pick from shades like electric blue and mint green to a rich pink or even a color combination in one stone. I would expect it to be almost impossible to dislike a birthstone that offers so many variations. But we can’t let those October babies have all the fun, can we? Definitely not. So for your shoppers born this month or not, these five bright jewels are destined to have more than a few fans.
