It would seem that October is the most vibrant month out of the year with all the colour variations found in these two stones. Both of the crystal structures of these birthstones are quite complex.

When a child complains of heel pain, it is often thought to be growing pains, a normal phenomenon during childhood and adolescent growth spurts. 1  Growing pains are a simple way of describing mild and short-lived pain, usually in the legs where a muscle attaches to a bone.
Heel pain is usually caused by a walking stride that exerts excessive stress on the heel bone. Discomfort can also result from poorly made shoes, obesity, a stress fracture of the heel bone, bruises of the fat pad under the heel, or a disease such as rheumatism or gout.
