MATERIAL: Natural untreated highest gem
quality BLUE OPAL. One of the Most Valued and Sought After Types of
Natural Opal. Named comes from old Indian word Upala meaning Precious
Stone. Opal and its many varieties occurs in sedimentary and secondary from the alteration of high
silica igneous extrusive rocks. This incredibly colored Opal was the biggest
seller during the 2010 Tucson gem show! Nearly every customer from Japan and
many from Europe and USA purchased these gems including several of big name
wholesalers and jewelry makers. We have only very limited amount left so buy
one of these incredible stones while they are still available.
LEGEND and
LORE: Opal is
a delicate stone with a fine vibration. It enhances cosmic consciousness and
induces psychic and mystical visions. Opal is both absorbent and reflective,
picking up thoughts and feelings, amplifying them, and returning them to
source. Enhances self worth, and brings lightness and spontaneity. Other
properties include: strengthening memory, instilling faithfulness and loyalty
with respect to love, personal affiliations and business relationships. Known
as the stone of happy dreams and changes; the happy dreams arising from the
understanding of personal higher potentials coupled with the glad acceptance of
ones inherent perfection. The happy changes emanate from those events and
situations, which allow ones aspirations to surface. Awakens both the psychic
and the mystical qualities, helping one to understand the powers of intuition
and mysticism and to utilize them to enhance personal understanding in the
realms of the sacred aspects of being.
Opals do
not bring bad luck or death. These lies were spread amongst the general
public by 19th century Diamond dealers for one simple reason.
Crystal opal was and still remains Diamonds biggest rival and competitor. Top
quality Crystal Opal has greater per carat value than flawless white Diamond.
