About Opal Stone

OPAL is a beautiful semi precious gemstone and has various astrological and healing properties . It is a gem of beauty, charm, wealth, and grace and represents the planet Venus. The unique property that adds to the opal’s sense of mystery and fascination is the stone’s brilliant property of scattering light. The diffraction of light at OPAL’s surface makes it possible for an OPAL stone to create lights of every color from the spectrum when exposed to light from different angles.
