A note on opal: October's birthstone. It takes its name from the Sanskrit word Upala which means "jewel", and later the Greek Opállios which means "to see a change in colour." In the Middle Ages, opal was considered a stone that could provide great luck as it was believed to possess all the virtues of each gemstone, whose colour was represented in the colour spectrum of the opal.
A note on diamond: April's birthstone, the diamond is said to represent love, strength and a long life. Referred to as the 'king of gems' due to its unique powers of light reflection and being one of the hardest natural substances known.
