The name origin of Opal is believed to be a Latin translation of the Sanskrit term upala which means precious stone. This stone was originally brought to Europe through trade with India in the 16th century. However, 90% of Opal currently available is sourced from Australia. Metaphysically, Opal is believed to hold healing properties that can enhance creativity, authenticity, and individuality. Opal can also be used by gemstone healers to connect with higher spiritual energy.
