Dazzling opal gemstones are the birthstone of October. Opals are also associated with Libras. On top of its beauty, opals will make the wearer more loving and affectionate in both personal and family life and will ensure the wearer good opportunities and magnetize others. This exquisite gemstone is a must have for those born in October.
This gemstone is also known to enhance the positive characteristics of those born under Cancer. Additionally, Black opal is recommended to those born under the zodiac sign of Scorpio. Boulder and Fire Opal are lucky stones for those under Aries.
Some people think that opals are unlucky for anyone to wear if not born in the month of October. This silly superstition came from a novel in the 1800s, by Sir Walter Scott, called "Anne of Geierstein." This is ironic because opals have been considered as the luckiest and magical of all the gems throughout history.
Opals were once considered as the symbol for fidelity, assurance, religious devotion, having the power to preserve the life and color of blond hair, and the cure for eye diseases.
The ancient Greeks believed opals gave their owners the gift of prophecy and guarded them from disease. Europeans have long considered the gem a symbol of hope, purity, and truth.
People believed that opals have healing powers that have been reported to solve depressions and to help the wear find true and real love.
During Ancient Times, Black opal is considered an extremely lucky stone and is worn near the heart on necklaces made of gold to protect one from the evil eye and protect travelers to far way lands, addition to its healing properties to increase mental capacities and creative imagination.
In gemstone therapy, opals are usually regarded as gems which people choose when they are dealing with a particular aspect of their personality.
