Folklore, Legend, Healing Properties of Opal:
A gem of psychic awareness- and of the moon and water- it can increase everything we feel as well as helping the assimilation of emotion. It is like a full moon that draws hidden emotions to the surface. A strong healing stone, said to enhance intuition, to aid in prophesy and divination, help with eyesight, and bring relaxation, to the point of total peace, this stone can be used to put the wearer in touch with his or her higher self. The Opal is a stone defying description, as it contains fire sparks, delicate colours and a full spectrum of colour- varying from translucent cream to fiery black and blue with rainbow reflections. Formed from the skeletons of tiny shells and animals, Opals are very porous and are at least thirty percent water. To the Greeks and Romans, the Opal was thought to give direction if held between the eyes and was known as the ’stone of vision’ or ‘gem of hope’.
The Opal will increase in power if worn with the Lapis Lazuli and is especially helpful to those born in October.
Main properties: Creativity, spontaneity, relationships, memory, happy dreams and changes.
