Opal is a hydrated amorphous silicon dioxide – a form of silica without a visible crystalline structure, which contains up to 30% water in its structure.
Opal consists of tiny spheres of silica. In the case of “Common” Opal, these spheres vary in size and are distributed randomly through the opal. These spheres will reflect light, causing the pearlescent lustre, known as opalescence.
In the case of “Prescious” Opal, the silica spheres are packed together in an orderly grid. This grid diffracts light, resulting in a colourful play of flashing light.
An opal doublet is a thin slice of opal, which has been glued onto a backing of ironstone (ironstone is the matrix mineral from which the opal is usually mined. Doublets are created so that very thin veins of opal, which otherwise couldn’t be set in jewellery, can now be utilized).
Black Opal has a base or background of black, grey or blue, and displays a range of iridescent colours, most commonly blue and green.
Black Opal helps us to be consciously aware of our highest spiritual aspirations and manifest them in our daily lives.
It intensifies our emotions and intentions, which makes it a powerful tool in two ways. Firstly, when we can clearly express positive emotion and intention, it assists us in manifesting what we desire (as such, one must be aware that negative emotions can lead to negative outcomes).
Secondly, it helps us to delve deep and uncover hidden emotions and trauma, which allows us to work through and release these. Black Opal is our beacon of light on our journey into the dark.
