Semi Precious Stone Opal Earring
 Due to the differing percentage of water, Opals may
simply become brittle. They always contain water – usually
between 2 and 5 per cent, but sometimes even more, Thus if stored
too dry or exposed to heat over a longer period of time, Opals
would show fissures and the play of colour will turn out to be
paler. Therefore, Opal jewellery should be worn
as often as possible, for then the gemstone
would receive the needed humidity from the air and from the skin
of its wearer.
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 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.
