- - - Opal Meaning: The word ‘opal’ comes from the Greek word ‘opallos’ which means ‘to see a change’. This captures the essence of opals perfectly. No opal is the same as another and its design is very unique to the stone in which it is captured. They range in colour from milky white, to blue-green, to red and yellow. In ancient times the October Birthstone was given the name ‘Queen of Gems’ because of the way it contained all the other colours of different gems. It even has a magical way of changing colour as the light catches it on the right spots.
