Mystic Crystal and Gem

Opal is a hydrated silica material that is composed of submicroscopic silica spheres that are bound together with water and other silica. The name Opal is derived from the Latin opalus and the Sanskrit upala meaning 'precious stone' precious Opals were mined in Europe at least as  long ago as the fourteenth century. Mexican fire opal was used by the Aztecs and taken to Europe by the conquistadors. In Roman civilization the Opal was linked with good luck and hope. The belief in France was that the Opal could render its wearer invisible, while in Australia legend reports that a gigantic Opal governs the stars, human love and the gold within the mines.
