One of my main suppliers is currently in Jaipur India, sourcing some new fabulous gemstones and pearls, so far my credit card is breathing a sigh of relief, as I have not been tempted, but things could change in the next few days, as she has a couple of IG lives to come, and offering a personalised shopping service.

Over the last few months I have had a number of customers asking for Opals, and so I have been keeping a keen eye out for all the different varieties available, in the run up to Christmas, and my suppliers have not disappointed.

I think when people ask for opals they mainly mean and/or think of the Ethiopian opals that I have refered to in a previous e-newsletters and blog post, but you know how things go, as soon as someone asks you for something and you are consciously aware of it, all of a sudden a myriad of options come out of the wood work, so I now have 6 varieties of Opals for my customers to choose from.

Opals is an emotional stone and reflects the mood of the wearer, It intensifies emotions and releases inhibitions, encouraging both freedom and independence, and stimulates originality and creativity.

Wearing Opals is said to bring loyality, faithfullness and spontaneity, but can amplify fickleness to those who possess this quality in their personality.

Boulder Opal is a one of a kind healing crystal symbolising serenity, specifically of the soul, with its many colours which reflect the chaotic and mixed emotions we carry as humans.

Boulder Opals activate the Crown, connecting ones mental self to ones spirit, when balanced facilitates self-knowledge, unity and universal consciousness, and the Root chakras, offering one grounding and stability, enabling one to tackle each day without worry or fear.

This Opal carries all the colours in one, which links ones conscious and subconscious, representing clear communication, clarity and understanding.

Green Opal activates the heart chakra, is a cleansing and rejuvenating stone, that promotes emotional recovery and helps relationships.  It can filter information, re-orienting the mind to provide meaning in everyday life and bring about spiritual perspective.

The most common variety of Opal, helps us find the strength that we used to have, whilst encouraging us to use this to push forward and rebuild.  Green Opal reminds us that we only need ourselves in this life and that this is a daily reminder of the inner strength we truly posses.

A stone of joie de vivre Green opal reminds us to live in the moment and enjoy and focus on what's around us and not what's distracting us:
 

Boulder Opal	Green Opal
Blue Opal	Pink Opal

Blue Opal, in this case is not very blue as I have selected stones that are more white, gray and black than blue, but I found them more interesting, activates the throat chakra and can improve communication, especially to those who are suppressed due to lack of confidence.

An emotional soother this version of Opal realigns one to their spiritual purpose, a useful stone to have if past-life experiences or injuries are affecting present life, as these can be healed through the etheric blueprint.

Black-Grey Opal activates the sacral and root chakra sand the reproductive organs, and is very useful for processing and releasing newly released emotions. 

The black variety of Opal offers complete protection of the emotional body and aura, providing an etheric shield against negative energy and anothers emotional toxicity.  In uncomfortable situations black opal helps one to stay calm and relaxed, whilst reminding one that you are not alone in this journey.

Pink Opals are known as the stone of spiritual awakings, activates the heart chakra, imbuing ones aura with calming tranquil vibrations, so it's a perfect healing stone to carry when one is struggling with sadness, especially a broken heart, as it will serve the emotional body when it comes to dealing with a breakup, loss of a loved one or even a long distance relationship.  Pink Opal pushes one to look within and strengthen our connection to our inner self, making us stronger individuals.

It is known to clean out one's heart space and push it into acceptance of whatever it is that weighting us down, making us accept what has happened, so that we can move on and grow from it.
