The Meaning of October's Birthstone
Every birthstone has its own meanings and beliefs that stem back through history. The name tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese word "toramalli" which means "stone with mixed colours." Whilst pink tourmaline is the birthstone of October, it also comes in an array of other colours from red through to green.
Pink tourmaline is said to symbolise compassion and gentleness. It is said that the stone can encourage an uplift in mood and boost creativity - and with such a stunning semi-precious stone it's no surprise!
What Colour is October's Birthstone?
October's birthstone has a beautiful pink hue, reminiscent of watermelon's tones - especially when combined in modern jewellery with the green version of this stone. Pink tourmaline can range from a light peachy-pink to a deeper red-pink. The soft tones sit perfectly against either gold jewellery or rose gold jewellery.
