The mining of Opals took off around 1880, once their value was recognized. The name is from ancient Greek and Latin languages, which both mean “to perceive a colour change”. The oldest Opal relic was found in a cave in Kenya, this is how it was dated. Opals are said to enhance cosmic consciousness and induce psychic and mystical visions. They help disperse positive or negative energies, and are considered a stone of protection, faithfulness and loyalty. Opal bring happiness and assists in easing the process of change.
