Opal

Opal is a shimmering gemstone known for its play-of-color—flashes of blue, green, pink, and red across a milky to transparent base. It belongs to the oxide class and contains water, making it sensitive. Major sources include Australia, Ethiopia, and Mexico.

Opal boosts creativity, intuition, and emotional clarity. Wipe gently with a dry cloth—avoid heat, water, and direct sunlight. Vividly colored opals with strong iridescence are rare and highly prized.
