Opals are said to have the power to steal the breath away from anyone who beholds them. Despite the superstition the opal had in its chequered past, it has been redeemed in the 20^th century and is today an absolute favourite gemstone. Opals are used to absorb and reflect light and in doing so can also be a wonderful aid to absorb thought and feelings. An opal has a unique power of being able to bring out its wearer’s traits, good or bad, and bring hidden characteristics and desires to the surface. The opal is an intensive stone, it is seductive and exaggerates emotional states whilst releasing inhibitions. Opals can also be used to enhance memory, imagination and creativity because of their ability to bring down our barriers. It has the power to ignite passion and has strong associations with healing and love.

Aquamarine embodies all things connected with the sea. It arouses the purity of the clear blue waters in which it represents. It embodies both the exhilaration and relaxation of the sea. It is a calming, cleansing and soothing stone, like the turquoise waters on a still day; it inspires all that is beautiful about a clear mind.  It is a stone that encourages trust, truth and letting go. Aquamarine was believed to have been the treasure of the mermaids and it was used by sailors as a talisman for good luck and protection from the sea.

Because of its reflective properties, it is said to become a mirror, reflecting your true identity and helping to guide you in finding your true purpose in life.
