Unique Physical Properties of Green Opal
A member of the opal family, green opal is one of the many colors this gemstone can be found in. Always providing a show of colors and lights, green opal is no exception to the family rule. This beautiful stone is distinct in its verdant green hues, reminiscent of lush forests or dense jungles.
Found in shades of light to dark green, this variety of opal is usually found as a “common” opal. Categorized by common or precious, opals differ from specimen to specimen. Common opals, such as most green opals, do not present the unique play of colors that precious opals do.
Green opals are most commonly opaque and are described as mineraloids. Presenting no crystal structure, opals are amorphous. A rather soft stone, green opal ranks between a 5 and a 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.
Where is Green Opal Found?
Providing an impressive 95% of the world’s opals, Australia is the leading producer of these gleaming gemstones. It is no surprise then, that Australia is also one of the biggest suppliers of the green variety. Aside from Australia, green opal is also mined in Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Mali, Madagascar, South Africa, Serbia, and part of the United States. A fairly common variety of opal, green opal, is discovered throughout the world.
How Does Green Opal Affect the Chakras?
In rich grassy hues, green opal has a deep relationship with the heart chakra. Cleansing, aligning, and activating this energetic center of the body, green opal opens your heart to the healing power of love.
As a defense mechanism, we often build conscious or subconscious barriers around ourselves, to protect from ever getting hurt. Green opal, however, gently encourages you to tear down those self-built walls, and invite love into your life.
Inspiring bold and fearless energy, green opal reminds you that love is the greatest medicine in the world, and can only be found when your walls are down. With an open and honest heart, love flows within you and around you. You are opened up to not only the affection of others, but also the affection for yourself. Afterall, the most important relationship you can have in life is the one you have with yourself.
Green opal cleanses the heart space of past traumas, relationships, or hurts, so that you can more effectively and gracefully move on. This verdant gemstone inspires you to see each challenge or heartbreak you have faced as simply a lesson, learning to grow and expand from each one. With green opal, love always overcomes fear.
