Known for promoting love, passion and can also act as an emotional stabilizer.

Opals are known for their play-of-color, rainbow hues that shift as the light hits the stone.

Opal can be found in Australia, Madagascar, Brazil, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Mexico and the US.

Greeks believed opal gave protection against disease while Bedouins thought opal was filled with lightening that fell from the sky during intense thunderstorms.
