November: citrine/ topaz (orange/ dark yellow)ĭecember: turquoise/ tanzanite (turquoise/ mid-blue)Īpril: diamond (transparent/ white/ silver) October: tourmaline/ opal (multicoloured) - as colourful as possible If we happen to finish one round, then start again from the beginning (but please make sure that the round is completely filled before starting another). I will list out the months with their birthstones on the wiki. This will be a rolling challenge which includes all the colours of the birthstones that we've looked at over the past year and a quarter - so if you didn't manage to fit a book in before, this is your chance. For the last month of this challenge, though, you get a bit of choice. Let's see how dark we can go this month - can you find an all-black cover?Ĭhallenge 14: The Birthstone Challenge wrap-up read a book that is predominantly one birthstone colour

It is thought that an asteroid(s) shattered over the area that would later split into the CAR and Brazil. The current theory for the origin of black diamonds is that they came from outer space, from a supernova explosion, rather than from deep within the Earth as with other diamonds. Black diamonds are found only in Brazil and the Central African Republic, which were at one time part of the same land mass, but never in areas where (white) diamonds are found. Naturally occurring black diamonds, known as carbonado, are black due to inclusions within the diamond of graphite and forms of amorphous carbon (ie carbon that isn't graphite or diamond). Eve's pearls were white but Adam's were black and since men shed fewer tears, black pearls are rarer. (And yes, there's that ship as well.) There is a legend that when Adam and Eve left paradise they wept tears that turned into pearls. They symbolise wealth, prosperity, wisdom and everlasting love. Black pearls are rare and true black pearls are only found in Tahiti. Topaz and citrine are the most well known modern birthstones for November but pearl and diamond feature as well. Sorry to be late this month my reading and what little 'social media' I engage in has been suffering lately.Ĭhallenge 16: November birthstone challenge - read a book with a predominantly black cover It is used for 50th anniversary gifts and in medals for first place and is desirable in modern, miniaturised electronics because of its properties of conducting electricity, malleability and because it doesn't corrode.ĮTA I'm hoping for shiny, glitzy gold covers! Gold is a precious metal which can be found native as gold nuggets and has appeared in early myths and legends such as those of King Midas, the Golden Fleece or Rumpelstiltskin. It is a mineraloid rather than a mineral, and the 'play-of-colour- is caused by refraction rather than by pigments in the stone.Īnd since this month marks the end of the year in which I turned 50, I am gifting you with a second option gold. It is considered a symbol of hope, truth and purity and thought to preserve life and the colour of blond hair. October's birthstone is opal which is iridescent and multicoloured, so make sure your covers are as colourful as possible! The Romans considered opal the most powerful and luckiest gem of all since it shows all the colours and Bedouins think that opals contain lightning. So here we are back in October, and what a strange year it has been. Challenge 12: Birthstone challenge for October - read a book with a predominantly multicoloured cover OR a predominantly gold cover.
