Beauty And Benefits Of Opal

If you are in search of an alternative to diamonds and other stones, look no further than the opal. This stone represents the Libra zodiac sign and encompasses several characteristics and benefits that exude its opalescence.

Particularly attractive and unique, the opal is known to provide an added boost to one’s personality and charm. Further, the stone is said to combat negative influences and in turn bring prosperity, success, and romance to those who wear and wholeheartedly believe in its power. Fire opal is a particularly captivating form of this stone; its range of hues and shades paired with its rarity makes this a particularly attractive option. The cats eye stone is another equally attractive option. Garnering its name from the effect known as chatoyancy, or cat's eye effect, the stone is especially unique due to its unmistakeable appearance caused by inclusions of fine, slender parallel mineral fibers in the gemstone that reflect light in a single band.



The opal also provides several therapeutic benefits. The white version of the stone is said to increase metabolism and provide a boost of energy to those who wear it. It is also believed that the white opal increases sexual energy and provides healing properties that enhance the positivity in one’s outlook toward life. An alternative to the opal is the south sea pearl. This stone is produced by a specific mollusk and is currently cultured in areas throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, primarily in Australia, the Philippines, India and Myanmar. South Sea pearls are among the largest commercially harvested cultured pearls in the world.

This very malleable and flexible stone can be worn in a multitude of ways. The most basic is in their loose gemstone form, but exclusive pieces can also be made. They can range from simple inset rings to more elaborate necklaces, or even bracelets. This is used similarly to the gomed stone, which has several similar applications, and although the gomed stone price are lower, it is particularly popular because of its red hue. After having embraced its benefits more people are wearing the white opal in various forms to reap its benefits. This is a rare case where a stone’s beauty is matched by its ability to bring positivity to its beholder.
