Opals

Symbols of October 10-16-24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Opals

October's fiery gem
Opals - stone pools of flames
Occlusions of white fire
Oceans of neon sparks
Orange fluorescence glows
Opalescent passion
Or Aurora's embers

October's traditional birthstone, good choice, it's one of the most beautiful gems. You have described the opal as an orange hue and fiery essence, hmm. With much imagery "Stone pools of flames" Sam, I like this form. Blessings
