I adore Opals :”D
Opal
Mineraloid of the day!
The Opal.
This gem is an amorphous solid. Meaning it can be liquified when heated. It is a form of silica related to quartz. This stone can be opaque to somewhat transparent. 3 to up to 21 percent of this stone can be water. How neat is that?! Its color is hard to determine since it contains a rainbow of colors. Sometimes its backgrounds is white, green, blue with numerous flecks of the visible color spectrum found within. Red and black opal are the most prized and rare opals. Opal is the national gemstone of Australia and is Octobers birthstone. Australia provides the world with 97 percent its opals. And in 2008 NASA discovered opals on Mars! awesome! They really are a magical looking stone. Some people say that it is unlucky to wear opal if you are not born in october. (my family has always jokingly said that) But I love this stone. Yet in the Middle Ages it was considered a lucky stone. Perhaps something was lost in translation. :) In pagan beliefs it is believed that this stone can bring about dramatic change in your life and be an aid in physic perception and aid in aura and astral projection.
Every time you settle for less in this world, you give away a little bit of your happiness #loveyourself
