( Oct ) Rose Sapphire
The birthstones for October are either Rose Sapphire or Opal.
It's nearly impossible to make Opal in Michigan because Michigan is like a mat of vegetation floating on water.
We tried to make Opal but when a truck or a car drove by, it slightly shook the ground and opal did not settle properly and all we got was a white mass with no play of colors.
In contrast, our synthetic Rose Sapphire is available in the items you see below or in most all of our mountings.
