October Birth Stone
Posted by admin under Celtic Articles
A birthstone for October, Pink Tourmaline has the seemingly magical property of pyroelectricity. This means that when heated, the gem takes on a static electric charge, making it capable of attracting light objects. This is one of the many reasons this gemstone was revered for its mystical properties in the past.
Also known as the “stone of the muse,” it was believed to stimulate the creative process of its wearer. Pink varieties of Tourmaline range in color from pastel pink to ruby red and are mined in Brazil, Afghanistan, Burma, and India. When a gift is made of this stone it is symbolic of hope.
