There are three basic types of precious opal: boulder opal, black opal and white opal. Black and White Opal have distinct healing properties of their own.

Tiny silicon dioxide globules are formed in with a small amount of water and gas enclosed. These globules bend light, giving the opal its wonderful play of colour. The flashing colours are called fire or opalescence. The fire appears as sparkles of vivid colours floating on top of the stone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003eColour: black, blue, green, pink, red, white; iridescent or pearly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003eTransparency: opaque, translucent, transparent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003eLustre: vitreous, waxy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003eCrystal system: amorphous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003eFracture: uneven\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003eHardness: 5.5-6.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003eMineral group: silicates\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003eFormula: SiO₂·nH₂O\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003eLocation: Australia (97 per cent) Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mexico, USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003eRarity: rare, extremely rare\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003eChakra: Throat, Crown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003eEmotional: amplifies, awareness, desire, eroticism, release inhibitions, seduction, sexuality, soothing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003eMental\/intellectual: amplifies, love of life, optimism, spontaneity, unconventional thinking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 5.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black;\"\u003eSpiritual: angelic beings, chakra rebalancing, creativity, inspiration, protection, purification.
