October is here and that means opal gemstones, the birthstone gems for October and the astrological gemstone for Libra. And what a beautiful gemstone it is, be it black opal, crystal opal or Mexican Fire opal.
Did you know that centuries ago opals were thought to be good luck charms because of their likeness to a rainbow? Or that they had symbolic meaning in ancient times as emblems of fidelity and safe-guarding. Or that they were believed to have therapeutic qualities for diseases of the eye or for memory enhancement - we all might like that enhancement - LOL

One of the interesting things about opal is that they should be worn on the skin every day. While they are relatively soft, 5.5 on the Mohs scale they can be worn safely if set in a protective setting. They don’t like being stored in a place that is too dry or to hot over a long period of time. Opals always contain water as part of their makeup; they appreciate the humidity from the air and the skin of its wearer. So wear them every day and enjoy their beauty. AfricaGems.com guarantees opals against cracking.
