October Symbols
Birthstone is Opal. Opal is thought to contain the power to predict illness. because the opal responds to heat. Sickness increases body temperature before signs of illness appear. The increased body heat causes the opal to lose its shine, leaving it dull and lacking color. It is also said that the opal will crack if it is worn by someone who was not born in October.
*can also express every color in the visible color spectrum(:

Flower: calendula
