OCTOBER has some major confusion. They have
PINK TOURMALINES and they have
OPALS (Or as some call them
Oh-Pales!) Opals are soft and very fragile, but offer a great Kaleidoscope of colors. Opals are quite mystical and range from Blues to Greens to Oranges. But myth & superstition says that if Opal isn't your Birthstone, it's bad luck to wear it!
Pink Tourmalines have some strong pink hues going on. Anywhere from light to dark shades, Pink Tourmalines make beautiful Gemstones. For you guys that have an October Birthday, I would normally recommend the Green Tourmaline as an alternative to Pink. October just doesn't offer very much choice for guys!

November Birthstone
NOVEMBER has the lovely
CITRINE &
YELLOW TOPAZ! Both seem to work well and both offer strong yellow hues like
sunsets and tropical drinks. Citrines seem to please most people. They look awesome in Rings or Pendants and can be worn with most shades of clothing.
December Birthstone
DECEMBER has the craziest Month. It's Birthstones are "
BLUE ZIRCON" (not to be confused with Cubic Zirconia), "
BLUE TOPAZ" (not to be confused with Yellow Topaz), and a brand new Birthstone just added in the last couple years,
TANZANITE! (Which isn't really blue at all!) Blue Topaz, which is the most popular Birthstone for this Month, comes in wonderful shades of Blue, like
Sky-Blue & London-Blue. They are a great choice to wear everyday and with such an abundance of Blue Topaz on the market, price is normally very inexpensive!
So let's get this straight... December kids get 3 Birthstones, THREE, Blue Zircon, Blue Topaz and Tanzanite, and on top of all this they get Christmas too? Lucky bunch! Read: The Gemstone Tanzanite!
Big Question
Now the answer to the Big Question:
"Why is there more than one Birthstone for some Months?"
The answer is: Supply and Demand.
Some Gemstones are just too rare and expensive and un-popular than others. So they offer substitutes. Choice is always good!
Now that that's taken care of, where's that Amethyst Gemstone at? It's time for a drink! And if you still want to learn more about Birthstones and what they mean, read my blog about Birthstone Meanings and also Astral Gemstones!
