Opal has long been linked with hope, creativity, friendship and seasonal abundance as well as believed to have healing powers.
It is a non-crystalline form of silica displaying beautifully varied, optically-created colours.
Pure quartz is colourless and transparent – but there are many colourful varieties including amethyst, onyx, jasper, Tiger’s Eye, agate - and opal as you can see here.
It makes for a beautiful scarf on this shape and size.
