October - Tourmaline
October's child is born for woe,
And life's vicissitudes must know,
But lay a tourmaline on her breast,
And hope will lull those woes to rest.

Tourmalines are precious stones displaying a unique splendour of colours.
According to an ancient Egyptian legend this is the result of the fact that on the long way from the Earth's heart up towards the sun, tourmaline traveled along a rainbow and collected all the rainbow's colours.
In fact, nowadays tourmaline is often called the "rainbow gemstone." No tourmaline exactly resembles another - it shows many faces and is well suited to match all moods and tempers. It does not come as a surprise that ever since ancient times it was been attributed with magical powers.
Tourmaline is supposed to be an especially powerful influence on love and friendship, lending them permanence and stability
