Opal is the October birthstone and the traditional gift for the 24th and 34th wedding anniversary.

The name opal is derived from the Roman word opalus meaning “precious stone”

Dendritic Opal may also be referred to as Moss opal because of the tree-like appearance, or dendrites, which comes from the Greek word dendron, meaning tree.

These dark fern link Dendrites form as water rich in manganese and iron flows along tiny cracks between layers of limestone and other rock types.

Opal is a balancing stone, which aligns the chakras and strengthens intuition and improves clarity.
