Hey guys :),

I think this thread would be more of a girly thread:مستحي:, but guys might know more about it:عيار:.
And who knows, maybe you would get ideas on what to get for a special some one :عيار:.


So let me start :)

Last weekend I and some really cool friends of mine had a girl’s day in watching football in which Italy sadly lost:حزين:.
And my friend went all loco big time :كاشخ:, trust me if you have a weak heart you would not survive the screaming :عيار::ضحك:, lol
Then after the huge defeat we decided to go out, just for a round :)

But with screamy’s driving skills we changed our mind and thought a stop would keep as alive for few more hours :عيار::ضحك::كاشخ:

So we went to Bareeq Alsha6e :)

Ofcorse we didn’t have a place in mind that we wanted to go to :), so we just walked around till we end up drinking fresh juice :).

But just before we end up having fresh juice we past by a stand in the middle of Bareeq al sh6y :)

The stand had jewellery:كاشخ:,

But what caught our eyes or the eyes of few of us is the gemstones
So while some of us were really interested in the stones and their price :)
And the others act to be interested :عيار:
While one could not act at al :عيار::ضحك:l- lol kidding
Point is we then started asking about our birthstone :)

And the dude in the stand was kind a heavy hearer:متفكر:, some of us had to whistle so he could hear us :عيار:. (The poor man):منتزق:
Any how the four of us got to have a look at our birthstones and their price:عيار:. Some of us even decided who they’ll ask to buy the stones on their upcoming birthday:عيار:.

So all that made me want to share with you guys some things about Birthstones :كاشخ:

So let me talk about them by month- star sign :كاشخ:

Scorpio Birthstones (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Opal - "Opal" comes from Latin and means "precious stone". They are made of layers of silica that have been deposited making the stone multicoloured.

Beliefs associated with the wearing of opal have varied: the early Greeks claimed that opals gave their owners the powers of prophecy; Romans adored it as a token of hope and purity. During the Medieval period, a change in the color of an opal was believed to indicate if the wearer was in good health.
