Opal Birthstone Meaning & History
The origin of the word ‘opal’ is still shrouded in some mystery. While most agree that it can be traced to the Latin word opalus, first recorded in 250 BC, it is still a matter of debate where did that term comes from. Some believe that it has its roots in the Ancient Greek compound opallios roughly translated as ‘to see a change in color’, while others suggest the Sanskrit word upala, meaning ‘precious stone’, as a likelier source.
Owing to the fact that opals often display a captivating interplay of various colors, it has also been known as the Queen of Gems. It was believed to contain all the virtues associated with different monochromatic gems whose color was represented in a particular stone.
When it comes to the opal birthstone meaning and symbolism, the stone has been traditionally associated with loyalty, faithfulness, purity, hope and confidence. It is believed to be imbued with beneficial properties relating to vision, both in terms of eyesight, and internal visualization, i.e. imagination and dreams.
