the spectral delight that is Opal, the “Eye Stone.” Like lightning in a rainbow, it flashes its brilliance with even the slightest movement and claims notice by all who witness its phenomenal “fire.” This is a stone so dedicated to the eye, so pleasing to the sight, it inspires love and hope, innocence and purity, luck and happiness.

The Roman historian, Pliny the Elder, described opalus - the Opal, as a precious stone containing the fiery flame of the carbuncle (Garnet), the resplendent purple of the Amethyst, and the sea-green glory of the Emerald - all shining together in incredible union and exquisite pleasure. It was considered by all in the ancient world to be the most bewitching and mysterious of gems, worn for its virtues of soothing and strengthening the sight, healing diseases of the eyes, and capable of providing great luck, as it possessed all the virtues of the gemstones whose colours reside within it. Yet for all its beauty and enviable desire, this “Queen of Gems’” reputation, for a time, fell from grace - linked with rumours, misfortunes and mysterious fatalities. Despite the superstitions, Opal was redeemed in the twentieth century, and is today an absolute favourite gem, especially as the birthstone for those born in October. Traditionally, it is also the gift given for a 14th wedding anniversary.

In the metaphysical world, Opal acts as a prism within the aura, bringing a full spectrum of Light energy to the system, soothing and clearing the emotional body, and boosting the will to live and the joy of one’s earthly existence. It enkindles optimism, enthusiasm and creativity, and allows for the release of inhibitions inspiring love and passion. Opal enhances cosmic consciousness and stimulates flashes of intuition and insight, yet is a protective stone for deep inner work, meditations, and lower-world shamanic journeys.

Opal is most known for its ability to bring one’s traits and characteristics to the surface for examination and transformation. Just as Opal absorbs and reflects light, it picks up thoughts and feelings, desires and buried emotions, amplifying them and returning them to the source. While magnifying one’s negative attributes may prove to be uncomfortable, it allows for understanding how destructive these emotions can be and assists the process of letting them go. Opal also illuminates the positive actions and emotions of the self, enhancing the good and true, and fostering one’s highest potential. It is a karmic stone with a reminder that what one sends out will return.

Geological Properties:
Opals are well-known for their unique display of flashing rainbow colors known as 'play-of-color.' This phenomenon is due to the diffraction of light by silica spheres within the structure of the opal. Opals can be found in a range of colors, including white, black, blue, green, and red, each with its own unique pattern and intensity of color play. Australian opals, particularly those from Lightning Ridge, are famous for their exceptional quality and vibrant colors. Ethiopian opals are also renowned for their stunning patterns and bright hues.

Opals are considered stones of inspiration that can enhance imagination and creativity. They are associated with emotional expression, amplifying and mirroring feelings, and revealing one's emotional state. Some believe opals can pick up on the thoughts and feelings of others, enhancing empathy and emotional understanding. The stone's energy is thought to bring hope and purity, helping to clear away negative emotions and promote a positive outlook. Opals are also believed to amplify energies, making them powerful tools for manifesting desires and intentions. They are often used in meditation to facilitate deeper spiritual connections and to enhance psychic abilities.
