The Opal is a sedimentary gemstone, known for its pearly and multicolored reflections. It can be white, bluish, pink, black, or rainbow, depending on its water content and internal minerals. Its play of light, called opalescence, gives it a unique and almost magical charm.
Since ancient times, the Opal has been seen as a symbol of purity, love, and transformation. It was highly valued by the Romans and Arab peoples, who considered it a lucky stone. It is associated with the heart chakra and the crown chakra, thus enhancing both intuition, emotional openness, and spiritual connection.
Birthstone for the month of October, the Opal is perfect for sensitive, creative, or personally evolving individuals. It is often used to stimulate imagination, soothe fears, and reconnect with one's inner voice. Worn as jewelry or used in meditation, it invites one to shine with authenticity and sensitivity.
