Opal
Classification: Mineraloid
Chemical Composition: SiO2·nH2O (Hydrated Silicon Dioxide)
Hardness: 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale
Source: Mainly found in Australia, with other notable sources including Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States.

Hope
Creativity
Innocence
Purity
Associations:
Element: Water
Planet: Neptune, Venus
Zodiac Signs: Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Pisces
Chakra: Typically associated with the Crown Chakra, but can align with different chakras depending on the colour of the opal.
Geological Properties:
Opals are well-known for their unique display of flashing rainbow colours known as 'play-of-colour.' This phenomenon is due to the diffraction of light by silica spheres within the structure of the opal. Opals can be found in a range of colors and types, from the fiery red and orange of fire opals to the vivid play-of-colour in black opals.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Opals are considered stones of inspiration that can enhance imagination and creativity. They are also associated with emotional expression, amplifying and mirroring feelings, and revealing one's emotional state. Some believe opals can pick up on the thoughts and feelings of others, enhancing empathy and emotional understanding.
Collectability and Use:
Opals are a popular choice for jewellery due to their unique beauty. They are often cut and polished into cabochons to best display their colour play and are used in all types of jewellery, from rings and necklaces to brooches and earrings.

Pearl
Classification: Organic Gemstone
Chemical Composition: Calcium carbonate in the form of aragonite, with conchiolin (an organic protein that acts as a binder)
Hardness: 2.5–4.5 on the Mohs scale
Source: Primarily harvested from saltwater oysters in oceans around the world, with significant sources including the coasts of Australia, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Japan.
Symbolic Meanings:
Purity and innocence
Wisdom acquired through experience
Wealth and luck
Calming and balancing
Associations:
Element: Water
Zodiac Signs: Cancer, Gemini
Chakra: Sacral Chakra
Historical and Cultural Use:
Ocean sea pearls have been treasured as symbols of wealth and status for millennia. They were highly prized by ancient civilizations such as the Romans and Egyptians, often worn by royalty to signify their status. Pearls continue to be a staple of jewelry collections due to their timeless elegance and natural beauty.
Geological Properties:
Ocean sea pearls are formed within the soft tissue of a living saltwater oyster. Unlike other gemstones that are mined from the earth, pearls are organic and are created when an irritant, such as a small parasite or a piece of shell, becomes trapped in an oyster. The oyster responds by secreting layers of aragonite, which are eventually built up into a pearl.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Pearls are believed to offer protection, as well as attract good luck and wealth. They are well-known for their calming effects and to balance one’s karma. Pearls are said to enhance personal integrity and help to focus the mind, promoting wisdom and contentment in life.
