Opal stone meaning foster love, passion, loyalty, faithfulness, emotional expressiveness, warmth, spontanity and dramatic ability. Opal also associated with peace, and consciousness. Sometimes considered unlucky, but this is only because modern people fear their emotional side. Its a very emotionally responsive stone.

Opal stone is unique in the gem kingdom. In Roman times opal was, next to emerald, the most valuable gem. The enthusiasm which opal arouses in artists and poets is not too extravagant. White opal scintillates against a
solid background, which is always light, either white or tinted some pale color. By reflected light it displays the most beautiful iridescent colors, green, yellow, red, blue, violet.

Opal is fine stones are extremely rare, and seldom large. This variety is called the Harlequin opal. Golden opal is a term applied to that variety in which only one color, an orange-yellow, is present. The largest opal known is in the Imperial Cabinet of Vienna. The precious opal contains the beauty, the reflected energy that is called fire opal. That comes later on this site.

Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls: Usually pale white or cream-colored, though darker blue, gray, and even black variations exist. In tune with women, especially pregnant women. Absorbing by nature and because of this must be used with caution. If you feel excessively negative while wearing a Pearl, it will hold that energy until it is worn again.

If used properly, lesses stress and its resulting maladies: hypertension, headaches, and exhaustion. May help to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Also an assist in digestion and may reduce the chance of developing ulcers. If using Pearls in conjunction with other gemstones, consider Diamonds to amplify and purify, or Emeralds to bring negative energy out and disperse it.

Fresh Water Pearl: Enable one to accept love. See the good parts of oneself so you can love yourself and others more.



I don't use pearls in healing or any way because I think an animal had to die for it.

KYANITE - MINERAL



KYANITE

Blue Kyanite


Kyanite is considered the "Earth Stone" due to its soothing earth tone colors, as well as its grounding and tranquil nature. The healing benefits depend on the color it comes in. Blue Kyanite is most effective when placed on the Throat Chakra in order to open the throat for communication and self expression. Kyanite is used to answer questions, especially in imagery, such as in vision, dreams or written interpretations. It brings out our natural ability to manifest things into reality via thoughts and visualization.

This stone is known for restoring energy balance and quickly creating tranquility due to the fact that it is an energy conduit. BUT some of those rare crystals and stones may have powers we don't know. I have not made research enough for this crystal. Don't buy it if you don't have better knowledge than I have...about it.
