Blue Opal Shiva Eyes

Blue opal is a common opal, meaning it lacks the fire and play of colour found in precious opal, and occurs in soft shades of pale sky blue to deeper ocean tones. Its colour comes from the presence of copper or other trace minerals within its silica structure. It has a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5 and is found notably in Peru, Oregon, and parts of Africa and Australia.

Metaphysically blue opal is a stone of calm communication, emotional healing, and gentle self expression. It is aligned with the throat chakra, encouraging honest and peaceful communication, particularly for those who struggle to articulate deep feelings or who carry unspoken grief and emotion. It has a quietly tranquilizing energy that soothes anxiety, stills mental chatter, and creates space for reflection and inner listening.

It is also associated with water energy, the realm of dreams, intuition, and the subconscious, making it a supportive stone for those doing deep emotional work or seeking greater clarity about their inner life.

In its quietness it is deeply powerful, like still water that runs far deeper than it first appears.
