Brief Summary of the October Birthstone- Tourmaline
One of the most versatile gemstones,
tourmaline, is available in a dazzling array of colors, almost resembling a
rainbow. Interestingly, the name 'Tourmaline' comes from the Sinhalese
words Tura mali, meaning 'a stone with mixed colors'. The rosy,
pink-hued tourmaline is most popular and celebrated as the October birthstone
and a gift to commemorate the 8th wedding anniversary. The gemstone, imbued
with such vibrant and vivid color hues, is said to bestow the wearer with
certain artistic prowess and heightened emotional receptiveness.
The pink tourmaline is a beautiful birthstone
that embodies love, compassion, and gentleness for those born in October. In
its natural form, it is usually found in long hexagon-shaped pencils. Rings
with pink tourmaline as the center stone look resplendent. Though most of this
October birthstone is mined in Brazil for centuries, geographies like
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kenya, and Madagascar in Africa, and California and
Maine in the United States are also crucial producers.
