Ethiopian opal cross pendant

Well-being

In ancient Greece, opal was said to be born from the tears of the god Zeus. When he triumphed over the Titans, he supposedly shed tears of joy that transformed into stones as they fell to the ground. Since then, the Greeks have believed that opal had powers of clairvoyance.

In the Middle Ages, opal was nicknamed the “eye stone” and was considered beneficial for the eyes.

Cleansing:

Ethiopian opal should not be purified by cleaning it with water, which could damage its iridescence. We instead recommend smudging with a palo santo stick or with white sage. Burn the palo santo or sage and pass your jewelry over the smoke. Don’t forget to air out the room well after smudging.

Recharging:

Opal can be recharged by placing it in a quartz geode, on a quartz cluster, or an amethyst druse. To prevent the geode or druse from scratching the opal, it’s best to place it on a small square of soft cloth. It can also be placed on a flower of life plate.
