The theme of Opal is choice, distinguishing between "true" and "false," encouraging one to follow their own path. It is a highly changeable stone, capable of giving unrealistic hopes, strengthening both positive and negative traits of the wearer, promoting arrogance, disregard for others, and coldness towards those around. By balancing the energy of Opal, its wearer achieves inner harmony, self-confidence in pursuing righteous and meaningful goals. It provides intelligence, the ability to recognize one's mistakes and inner problems, and discourages seeking enemies externally.
