While rose quartz is often associated with love and beauty, it is not traditionally listed as an October birthstone.
October has two primary birthstones:
- Opal: Known for its unique play-of-color.
- Tourmaline: Available in a wide variety of colors, including pink.
Therefore, rose quartz, despite its pink hue, isn't a recognized October birthstone in the traditional sense. Some modern or alternative lists might include it, but traditionally the answer is no. The reference says Rose Quartz is a birthstone, but doesn't specify for which month. It also says "We are deeply envious of anyone born in October as Rose Quartz is one of the prettiest birthstones there is". This is misleading since it sounds like rose quartz is for October.
