Hey there, you wanna know about that Libra birthstone color, huh? Well, I heard folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market. They say it’s somethin’ special, this Libra thing. Makes sense, my granddaughter, she’s a Libra, born right in that September, October time. Smart as a whip, that one, always was.
So this stone, they call it Opal. Sounds fancy, don’t it? Like somethin’ a queen would wear. This Opal, it’s the main stone for them Libras. Heard it’s good for balance and all that. You know, Libras, they like things all even and nice. Like a good harvest, not too much rain, not too much sun. Just right.
This Opal, it ain’t just one color. It’s like a whole rainbow got caught inside. Shimmery, they call it. You look at it one way, it’s one color. You look at it another, it’s a whole different color. Makes you think of them sunsets we get after a good rain. All pretty and mixed up. Some folks say it makes you feel hopeful, and that’s always good. We all need some hope.
They say this Opal, it can be white like a fresh bucket of milk, or dark like the night sky. I seen some that are fiery red, like a good hot fire. Them are nice. They also have some with a dark background. That’s like the earth. They got all kind of colors in them.
Now, that Opal, that’s the big one for Libras. But there’s others too, ’cause, well, nothin’s ever simple, is it? Here’s a list of some of ’em:
- Sapphire – That’s a blue one. Pretty like a clear summer sky.
- Lapis Lazuli – Sounds like a mouthful, don’t it? But it’s a pretty blue too, they say. Never seen one myself, but I hear it’s somethin’ special.
- Peridot – This one’s green. Like new grass in the spring.
- Aquamarine – Another blue one. Makes you think of the water, I reckon.
- Labradorite – Now this one, they say it changes colors too. Like that Opal, but different. Ain’t nature somethin’?
- Rose Quartz – This one’s pink. Like them wild roses that grow down by the creek. Pretty and soft lookin’.
- Citrine – Heard this one is yellow. Like the sun. Bet that one makes you feel warm just lookin’ at it.
- Tourmaline – This one, I hear it comes in all kinds of colors. Like a whole box of crayons.
Those Libras, they got a lot of choices, don’t they? Guess it’s ’cause they like things just so. They say these stones, they help ’em with their moods and such. Like, if they’re feelin’ down, the stones can help ’em feel better. That Rose Quartz, they say it’s good for healin’ your heart if it’s broken. Now ain’t that somethin’?
They say them stones bring out the good in Libras. Make ’em even more charmin’ and social. My granddaughter, she’s a social butterfly, always has been. Maybe it’s the Libra in her. These stones are all about balance. And that is good in life. You need some balance in everything. If you plant too much, then you have to work too hard, but if you don’t plant enough you go hungry. Libras, they know that.
You know, all this talk about stones makes me think of my old garden. Each plant, it needs somethin’ different, just like these Libras and their stones. Some need more sun, some need more shade. You gotta know what you’re dealin’ with to make things grow right.
Well, I reckon that’s about all I know on this Libra birthstone color business. It’s all a bit much for an old lady like me, but it’s interestin’ all the same. These young folks today, they sure do know a lot about these things. It’s nice to learn somethin’ new every now and then, even if it is just about some sparkly rocks. Hope you learned somethin’ too. Maybe you can go find yourself one of them Opals. They sure do sound pretty, don’t they?
