Opal Birthday Birthstone

To celebrate his 68th birthday
Sam Adams and his wife, Maria Lee
Went to Paris, stopping off at a jewelry store
They bought an opal ring
And a pink tourmaline bracelet
The traditional birthstones
Of the bad scorpion baby
Putting them on, he looked at her with a wicked smile

WRITE A POEM INSPIRED BY YOUR BIRTHSTONE.

The October birthstone is the opal. This rainbow-colored jewel holds many secrets. No one knows how it is scientifically formed. Over time, it has had curious connections with luck and magic. The Aztecs believed it brought necessary destruction for new creation1.
However, there is another birthstone for October, which is the pink tourmaline. This is the modern birthstone, and it is known for its calming and soothing properties. It can also help with emotional healing and self-love2.
