Gemstone necklace with a rare Andean opal ~ including 1.5mm leather cord in antique brown, for knotting for desired length.


The Andean opal, as its name suggests, comes from the Andes of Peru, has a hardness of 6 to 7 and belongs to the opal quartz family. It comes in the colors pink, blue-green, brown and white, and the differently colored stones are also said to have different properties.

The stone already had a special meaning for the Incas and Aztecs: an eye of the gods that they left behind when they left the earth. From the perspective of these ancient tribes, it was a stone of hope, a reminder in times of war that people, animals and nature belong together in harmony. This stone is still considered a protective and healing stone in Peru today and is traditionally worn as jewelry.

The pink Andean opal in particular is said to drive away depressive moods and fears. In addition, it promotes real love, but it also increases the desire for eroticism and sexuality. It gives spontaneity and joy of life and helps you to get through everyday life in a good mood and therefore better. The physical effect is expressed in an improved function of the enzymes, but also helps in the prevention of worm infestations, mites and viral infections. It is generally known as a healing stone for the digestive system. Among other things, it relieves inflammation and discomfort in the stomach area, promotes metabolism and strengthens the liver, especially if it is damaged by poisons and alcohol.

The green-blue or greenish stone, on the other hand, has calming properties, clears mental blocks, strengthens memory and, especially during exams, helps to maintain or find calm again. It also has a positive effect on the body. It is often used for lung problems as it relieves allergic reactions in the lungs and bronchi. In general, it can be said that the body's willingness to react allergically to something is inhibited. It works particularly well on allergens such as animal hair, environmental toxins and dust

The brown-white Andean opal combines the properties of the pink and the green-blue stone and also enhances their positive properties when used together.

The white stone, on the other hand, is hardly said to have any special positive properties for humans, but it can be used to suck out the negative energies that have accumulated in the other Andean opals and thus cleanse them without having to discharge them.

Properties that are promised to all Andean opals would be, for example, the strengthening of one's own talents and the ability to express themselves. In addition, inner satisfaction is improved and you react more balanced in stressful situations, but also in relationships.

The stones should be cleaned and discharged regularly with lukewarm, clear water. Don't forget to regularly draw out negative energies. After cleaning, charging in the rock crystal tumbled stone is recommended to ensure that the positive properties continue.
