Metaphysical Properties

Opal is associated with emotional expression, imagination, and the many layers of identity that come forward through change. Its shifting color and light suit creative work, self-reflection, and periods when feelings need room to move before they can be neatly resolved. Different opal varieties carry their own emphasis, but the broader family encourages openness to beauty, possibility, and a more fluid relationship with experience. It can help make space for both sensitivity and delight.

Mineralogy

Opal is hydrated silica, SiO₂·nH₂O, with a disordered to partly ordered internal structure. Precious opal shows play-of-color as light diffracts through regularly arranged silica spheres. Mohs hardness: 5.5–6.5.
