“Opal” comes from the Sanskrit “upala” and the Latin “opalus,” meaning “Precious Stone.” The opal’s principal characteristic is its play of beautiful colors. The Romans believed that opal symbolized love and hope; the Arabs, that it fell from the heavens in flashes of lightning. Queen Victoria helped popularize the stone by giving it to her children. It was a favorite stone of Rene Lalique, the noted artisan of the Art Nouveau movement, who designed opal jewelry for the great actress Sarah Bernhardt. The French believed opal rendered the wearer invisible, making it known, too, as the talisman of thieves and spies. And Australian legend had that the starts are governed by a huge opal that also controls gold in the mines, and human love. The aborigines, however, felt that opal was a devil-- half-serpent, half-human, luring men with evil magic.
