The Opal stone


In Roman times, people believed the opal was a combination of the beauty of all precious stones, and it is well documented in Roman history that Caesars gave their wives opal for good luck. They carried opal as a good luck charm or talisman because it was believed that like the rainbow, opal brought its owner good fortune. It was also referred to as the "Cupid stone" because it suggested the clear complexion of the god of love.
