Opal and its origins

The word opal comes from the Greek "Opallios", which means nuances of colors, the very definition of opal's uniqueness and unparalleled number of colors!

Australian legend has it that God descended to Earth on a rainbow, bringing a brilliant, sparkling color to all the stones.

Others say that opal gets its magic from a mixture of the colors of all the other precious and fine stones. Finally, among Europeans, opal was considered a stone of good luck and a symbol of hope, purity and truth.

Rose opal and its benefits

The pink opal, known as "Peruvian", is associated with the natives of the month of October. It corresponds to the zodiac signs of Aquarius, Gemini, Pisces, Cancer and Virgo.
