Folk LoreOpals - the "old wives untruth" dates emphatically to the after 1800's to a all the rage book in Victorian England wherein the heroine purchases a cursed opal and innovative commits suicide. Dash something off folklore says someone not born in October (Birthstone is opal),

Opal - The story about opals that gave it the bad rep is Sir Walter Scott's
"Ann of Geirstein" everywhere the heroine buys a cursed opal and innovative dies. Before that, decent women recycled to buy the opal starting it was intended to verification their hair from being paid dark. Besides intended to allow the wearer to be slight.
