Opal Meaning and Healing Properties

White Opal

White Opal is a karmic stone with a reminder that what you send out will return. It is most known for its ability to bring your traits and characteristics to the surface for examination and transformation. Just as opal absorbs and reflects light, it picks up thoughts and feelings, desires and buried emotions, amplifying them and returning them to the source. While magnifying negative attributes can be uncomfortable, it allows for understanding how destructive these emotions can be and assists the process of letting them go. Opal also illuminates the positive actions and emotions of the self, enhancing the good and true and fostering your highest potential.

Green Opal

Green Opal is a karmic stone that amplifies your potential as well as your flaws, so you can identify them and leave behind their harmful effects. It will help you identify and release old wounds, fears and anger, as well as other patterns of negativity. It radiates optimism, enthusiasm, imagination and good humour, and offers a state of relaxation similar to meditation. It supports problem solving both through dreams and in your waking day, keeping you alert and aware while stimulating understanding and positive action.

Pink Opal

Often referred to as the stone of resolution, Pink Opal helps in healing emotions and past traumas. Through this healing, the ability to give and receive love opens. Pink Opal strengthens the connection to the inner self and self-healing. Its gentle energy melts worry away and encourages calmness, love and hope.

How to Use Opal

  • Meditate with opal to reflect on and transform emotional patterns.
