The opal stands for hope, purity, health and innocence. Many believe that those who wear Opal will be treated to a greater understanding of life's possibilities and will discover new and different views of the world they live in. Opals are also believed to assist in healing. Opal is a strong gemstone, it can substitute a diamond.

If you live in a very dry climate, or keep them in a dehumidified room, some precautions are necessary. Because of their water content, opals are also highly sensitive to sudden changes in temperature. If you do get an opal ring, choose a setting that protects it from coming in contact with other objects.
