Positivity

Opal

Opal lifts what is already in you. It amplifies the good qualities rather than adding new ones.

The story

The Romans took opal as a symbol of hope and purity, and believed it held the power of every gemstone whose colour flashed inside it. No two opals carry the same fire.

Where it comes from

Predominantly Australia, also Ethiopia, Brazil and Mexico.

Its energy

Creativity, spontaneity and emotional expression. Opal is the stone for letting something out rather than holding it in.

Caring for your piece

Keep it away from perfume, hairspray and cleaning products, and put it on last when you are getting ready. Store each piece separately so harder stones cannot scratch softer ones.

Clean it with a soft dry cloth. Take jewellery off before swimming, showering or sleeping, and natural stones will hold their colour and their polish for years.
