Opal's name evolved from the Roman word opalus from the Greek word opallios - "to see a change of color." The Greek word was a modification of the ancient Indian Sanskrit name for opal, upala, which meant "precious stone." As indicated by the derivation of its name, opal has centuries of history as a treasured gemstone. Historically, beliefs associated with the wearing of opal have varied. The early Greeks thought that opals gave their owners the powers of foresight and prophecy. Romans adored it as a token of hope and purity. In the middle ages, opal was considered a stone that could provide great luck because it was believed to possess all the virtues of each gemstone whose color was represented within the opal. As well as occurring naturally, opals of all varieties have been synthesized commercially. Synthetic Opals, or lab Opals, are far more stable that natural Opals which are soluble in salt-water and relatively fragile. |
