Classification: Mineraloid

Hardness: 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale
Source: Mainly found in Australia, with other notable sources including Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States.

Associations:
Element: Water
Planet: Neptune, Venus
Zodiac Signs: Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Pisces
Chakra: Typically associated with the Crown Chakra, but can align with different chakras depending on the color of the opal.
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 and types, from the fiery red and orange of fire opals to the vivid play-of-color in black opals.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Opals are considered stones of inspiration which can enhance imagination and creativity. They are also 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.
Collectibility and Use:
Opals are a popular choice for jewelry due to their unique beauty. They are often cut and polished into cabochons to best display their color play, and are used in all types of jewelry, from rings and necklaces to brooches and earrings.
Care and Maintenance:
Opals require special care because they can be quite delicate. They should be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth and should not be exposed to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Avoid dramatic temperature changes and dry conditions which can cause opals to crack, a phenomenon known as 'crazing.'
