Green opal is a type of common opal that ranges in colour from light ivory to dark green. In terms of composition, green opals are very similar to the standard varieties. They are formed by a solution of silica and water. The water flows through cracks and fissures deep in the Earth. Along the way, it picks up silica. As the water evaporates, small deposits of silica remain. This process continues for millions of years, resulting in the beautiful stone we know today. The most remarkable specimens come from Australia, Brazil, the USA, Mexico and Peru

Be careful not to leave your Opal in direct sunlight. Opals are made up of water and direct sunlight can dry out the stone and eventually cause it to disintegrate!

It is often called the stone of change and new perspectives, which is the primary meaning of green opal. It is sometimes referred to as the stone of harmony. This stone shows us that we really only need ourselves in this life and should be a daily reminder of the inner strength we truly have. The calming effects of the stone can help clear the mind of negative thoughts that keep you up at night. The result is often a deeper and more restful sleep. Some believe that green opal can even reduce the frequency of nightmares in adults and children.
