"Mine is the opal. I&amp;#39;ve always liked it--partly because no two stones ever seem exactly alike. And according to a quick bit of procrastinating--I mean Googling--I did, I learned that opals may hold protective properties that ward off evil. Take that, pushy man on subway this morning! But when I was re-organizing my jewelry box--aka big cluttered drawer--last night, I realized: 1) I can&amp;#39;t find anything there and 2) I have nary an opal piece in my collection. Maybe I need something like this:\nPinterestFacebookSeriously, is it time to remedy my lack of birth-month appropriate bling? Or is wearing your birthstone kinda cheesy/kidlike? My friend E., and fellow Libra, has been on a Zodiac kick recently; she&amp;#39;s been using words like &amp;quot;rising&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Libra decadent&amp;quot;. I&amp;#39;m wondering: Is believing in birthstones sort of like being obsessed with astrology. Is it all just a bunch of horse&amp;#39;s %#!$ or does this stuff work? And what&amp;#39;s your birthstone, everyone? Curious!\n--Jenny"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
