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.
The most common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, inflammation where this long ligament attaches to the heel bone. The pain may be sharpest when you first wake up and put pressure on the foot. Arthritis, excessive exercise and poorly fitting shoes also can cause heel pain, as can tendonitis.
