OPAL
Even Pliny the Elder, an important scholar from ancient Rome, was quite taken with the wonderful effect and radiance of opal: "For it has an inner fire - it possesses the purple spark of the amethyst, the sea-green of the emerald and an incredible mixture of light." This stone enchants with its very special shimmer: the bright play of colors of opalescent...
The history of opal
The word opal originally comes from Latin – "opalus" means something like 'precious stone', but there is also a derivation from Sanskrit, which, however, has not been scientifically proven. Opals have always been considered very valuable gemstones, some of which were even valued higher than diamonds. So it's no wonder that opals were already traded as very special stones in ancient and ancient India and were popular because of their positive effect on the human soul.

The shimmering opal automatically provides more joy, more harmony and more balance on the physical level with its positive effect. It promotes our eyesight, has a balancing effect on sexual disorders and strengthens the digestive tract: the food can be processed faster and better, which also boosts the metabolism and makes the pounds fall. On the psychological level, opal has a harmonizing, calming and mood-lifting effect, so it can also be helpful for depression and mood swings. And the black opal is not only an extremely valuable and sought-after stone because of its rarity: it is also said to have almost mystical powers that enable our minds to see many things more clearly - medium-gifted people are also supported by the black opal in their clairvoyance.
The opal unfolds its effect best on the throat chakra. On an astrological level, he is assigned to the zodiac signs Aquarius, Cancer, Sagittarius and Pisces. In order to enjoy your piece of jewelry for a long time, you should never place opals in the sun, as they dry out extremely quickly, which leads to the rapid fading of the stones. Opals are also very sensitive to acids, soaps, make-up or perfume. It is best to spray opals with water once a month. To discharge, simply rinse regularly under running, lukewarm water and then charge with a rock crystal for a few hours! Opal chains should be discharged once a month overnight in a bowl with hematite tumbled stones and charged with a rock crystal.

The stones transmit their positive vibrations and are also used as protective helpers or lucky charms. In particular, the fire opal healing stone is a balancing color stone that brings spontaneity, gives vitality and encourages the implementation of new ideas.
"The bouldering opal comes from the Queensland region of Australia. More precisely, the bouldering opal can be found in the southwest of Queensland, namely in Quilpie, Yowah and Eromanga.
The sedimentary rocks in this region date back to the Cretaceous period. The rock thus dates back to a period that began around 145 million years ago with the end of the Jurassic and ended about 66 million years ago with the beginning of the Paleogene. As a result of weathering processes, silicic acid was released from the marine sludge with its microorganisms in the course of time - well into the Tertiary - which was deposited in the impermeable rock crevices and cracks. The constant change of moisture and subsequent evaporation finally led to a solidification of the silica and thus to the beautiful opal."
