💎OPAL LORE:
The Roman historian, Pliny the Elder described the Opal as a precious stone containing the fire of a Garnet, the resplendent purple of the Amethyst, and the sea-green glory of the Emerald. In Ancient times Opal was considered to be the most magical and mysterious gemstone, able to heal the body, provide luck, and strengthen the mind.
Opals help to calm their wearers, easing stress and depression. They are helpful with issues with anxiety, restless thoughts and racing minds, as they center the mind and promote positive dreams. As well as this, Opals are a wonderful protection stone, shielding the wearer from other people's negative thoughts and energies. It is thought to be greatly beneficial when venturing into dangerous places.
Opals are also very seductive stones, associated with love, desire and passion.
💎 MOONSTONE LORE:
Moonstone has been cherished in jewellery for thousands of years. The ancient Romans believed it was formed from solidified moonlight, while in India, it has long been considered sacred, especially for lovers, and is still given as a traditional wedding gift. Used for centuries across the Orient, Moonstone was also adored during the Art Nouveau era, prized by jewellers for its ethereal glow. In European folklore, it was believed to reconcile estranged lovers and soothe restless sleep.
Known as The Traveller’s Stone, Moonstone has been worn for protection, particularly at night or while journeying over water. Spiritually, it’s a crystal of new beginnings, supporting first love, fresh chapters, and emotional balance. Said to enhance intuition, creativity, and feminine energy, it’s also cherished as a powerful fertility stone and a gentle aid in nurturing confidence and inner calm.
