Scorpio Birthstones (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

Opal - "Opal" comes from Latin and means "precious stone". They are made of layers of silica that have been deposited making the stone multicoloured. Black Opals are the most precious and have the fieriest colors. Care must be taken so that Opals are in a protected setting - they can break or shatter if struck. Beliefs associated with the wearing of opal have varied: the early Greeks claimed that opals gave their owners the powers of prophecy; Romans adored it as a token of hope and purity. During the Medieval period, a change in the color of an opal was believed to indicate if the wearer was in good health.
