Opals
are said to bring good fortune because they possess the colors and
powers of all gemstones.
The ancient Latin name for opal was Opalus,
which was derived from the Sanskrit Upala meaning "precious
stone." The Greek word for opal, opallios, means "to see
a change (of
color)."
As indicated by the
derivation of its name, opal has centuries of history as a treasured
gemstone. Historically, beliefs associated with the wearing of opal
have varied. The early Greeks thought that opal jewelry gave their
owners the powers of foresight and prophecy. Romans adored opal
jewelry as a token of hope and purity. Eastern people regarded opal
jewelry as sacred.
