Happy White History Month! Opals are the birthstone for October and the traditional gift for 14th wedding anniversaries. But are opals unlucky? A series of rumors about opals were spread in the 19th century which affected their market. With the discovery of high quality opals in Australia, Queen Victoria led the comeback of the opal market.
