History
There was a time in the history when Opal was a sign of luck and happiness. The Romans used opal as a precious gemstone. They believed opal was a sign of purity and luck. That is the reason they ranked it second only to emeralds, and carried opal as a good luck charm because it was believed that like the rainbow, opal brought its owner good fortune. Even Centuries later, Shakespeare called opal “a miracle” and the “Queen of Gems”. Elizabeth prized opal as highly as the diamond for its brilliant colours and flashes of fire. Indeed, opal was a lucky stone.
