Double Opals is a celebration of those lucky people who are born in October and have Opals a their birthstone! I used Aqua Peruvian round and faceted Opals and graduated White Opals. It's finished with a gold filled brass slide and lock clasp. The short strand is 17 inches and the long one is 18.5 inches.

According to gemstonist.com, "Also known as “porcelain opal” and “white milk opal”, this stone has been valued since ancient times. Although they are more common than their black or gray varieties, they are not less appreciated in energy work. As a stone of calm and serenity, it favors positive emotions and good relationships with others."

charmsoflight.com says of Opals, "Encourages both freedom and independence. Opal enhances cosmic consciousness and induces psychic and mystical visions. It stimulates originality and creativity."

firemountaingems.com comments, "It's no surprise the Peruvian opal (showcasing tropical blues of the sea) has a soft, relaxing energy about it. Peruvian opal has long been used to release tension and promote free-flowing ideas. According to metaphysical beliefs, Peruvian opal reduces stress and helps the wearer approach the future with a heightened sense of tranquility. Peruvian opal is also believed to help with issues sleeping. Considered a powerful healing stone, this opal from the Andes is associated with the heart chakra."

Beautiful, soothing and powerful Opals!
