Opal - PHYSICAL & METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Opals are formed from balls of silica. This silica has different levels of depth and density and holds water as well. That is where the "rainbow" colors come from. The opal is used for helping one that doesn't want to be the center of attention, allowing you to "fade into the background". It is a stone of happy dreams and good changes. The opal can be used to help one open their "mystical" side. This stone carries both the sun and moon's energy. It is basically a moon's stone or female energy but has it's flash of male energy in the iridescent colors and carries the sun's energy. These flashes encourage intuition and insight. These flashes also represent an "inner fire" that gently stimulates you towards the Spiritual realms.Victorians believed that only those born in October may buy this stone for themselves- making an opal an excellent stone to give and receive as a gift.
