Semi Precious Stone Opal Bracelet
Nature’s entire magnificence seems to be reflected in the
manifold opulence of fine Opals: fire and lightnings,
all the colors of the rainbow and the yielding shine of far seas.
Australia is the traditional country of origin. Almost ninety-five
per cent of all fine opals come from
the dehydrated and remote outback deserts.
Opals are not very hard: they only achieve 5.5 to 6.5 on the
Mohs’ scale. Therefore they are grateful for a protective
setting. In earlier days Opal’s responsive surface was often
oiled, but today also sealing them with colorless false resin
has developed into quite popular.
Healing ability: Opal has been described in
medieval times as heal for diseases of the eye.
Mystical power: Black opal is
regarded as a tremendously lucky gem
stone. In ancient times opal was conventional as
a symbol of authenticity and confidence. It has reputed healing
properties, particularly to increase mental capacities such as
creative imagination. Black opals worn near the heart on necklaces
made of bullion are said to defend one from the evil eye and protect
travelers on journeys to far absent lands. Opals have
been ground up and used magic potions to cure the body, ward off
bad dreams, and used an energy improvement tools.
