The most beautiful natural white opal on Earth is mined in Australia. We have this opal to offer in our Grow-With-Me® bracelet for your beautiful October baby. Our natural white opal is the finest in the world.
Opal is hydrated silica and is not a mineral. It is considered a mineraloid. It forms when water flows through rock crevices, leaving layers of silica behind to form opal. The fire in the opal is the rays of light from the iron trapped in the silica layers.

Citrine
Citrine is the beautiful birthstone for all October babies.
Like amethyst, citrine is the mineral quartz, and it gets its beautiful bright yellow-orange hue from traces of iron trapped in the mineral quartz.

We have the prettiest faceted citrine to offer in our Grow-With-Me® bracelet collection of jewelry.
