Opal jewellery has been known as the October birthstone since the creation of the Gregorian calendar. This calendar had matching poems for every birthstone, the poem for the october birthstone is below:
'October's child is born for woe,
 And life's vicissitudes must know,
 But lay an opal on her breast,
 And hope will lull those woes to rest'

Derived from the Latin "Opalus" - precious stone - opals were highly prized by the ancient Romans. Their varying shades of soft colour make each opal unique and it was believed they possessed magical powers. Denoting health and purity, opal was thought to protect the wearer from disease and to possess the gift of prophecy.
