Black Opal, not to be confused with precious Opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia; is a common Opal in that it does not display a play of colour. New finds of Black Opal have been recently discovered in Madagascar which often have swirls of brown and white in.

Black Opal aids us in overcoming fear, allowing people to confront and transcend their limitations. It serves as a protective shield for the mind, aura, and emotions, safeguarding against negative energies and promoting emotional balance. Black Opal can also offer relief from anxiety, instilling a sense of calm and tranquillity. It also helps provide a powerful boost of confidence, empowering individuals to embrace their true selves and shine brightly. This crystal inspires spontaneity, encouraging individuals to live in the present moment and seize opportunities with enthusiasm and joy.
