Gemstones have not only a material value. They can also be a source of creative power that helps you through life. Your month of birth is deciding for this.
Month Stone of October: Opal
The term opal comes from the Latin opalus or the Greek opallios for 'precious stone'.
Opal owes its incomparable iridescence to silicic acid-containing fluid accumulations, which turn into silicic acid gel through evaporation of the water they contain. This in turn produces countless tiny silica spheres, and light reflects off these - the stone shimmers. The coveted play of color is called "opalescence".
In jewelry, three types are distinguished: precious opal (with color play), common opal (without color play) and fire opal (with and without color play).
The value of an opal is determined primarily by its color and how rarely it occurs. Expensive is red, because this is a rarity. Also a role is played by the thickness of the opal layer, the beauty of the grain, the cut, the weight and the processing. The color of opal is extremely diverse. Its transparency is opaque, that is, non-transparent, but sometimes translucent. The stone has a fat luster and opalescent color play. Some specimens have a nacreous luster.
The opal is known for its numerous varieties: among others Andean opal, Boulder opal, crystal opal, Yowah nut, blue opal, green opal, water opal, opal cat's eye, pink opal, milk opal, black opal.
By far the largest locality is Australia.
About 95% of all opals come from here, while about 4% come from Mexico.
OPAL – Effect as a Healing Stone
The aborigines of Australia call it the "stone of 1000 lights".
The opal stands for joy of life, creativity and serenity. It is said to help against inhibitions and depression. In addition, it can dissolve blockages and positively influence the flow of energy.
It is also said that the opal is said to have an anti-inflammatory effect in esotericism.
