The beautiful opal, whose name in Sanskrit means "precious stone" and in Greek - "change of color", is shrouded in various legends. In Hindu mythology, it is said that the maiden Rainbow was transformed into this crystal to maintain her purity, and Greek written sources claim that opal gives the gift of prophecy and protects against disease. Although opal was once believed to bring bad luck, today it has returned to the market as a valued and powerful mineral.
