Opal

Opal

A belief has persisted throughout modern history that this stone could bring bad luck to the bearer. In contrast, the ancient Greeks and Romans ascribed great powers to opal with the Greeks believing that this stone could impart the powers of prophesy and great insight. In Asia and the Middle East, this stone was thought to be a gift from the heavens. In modern times, it was thought that bad luck could befall those who wore opal or received it as a gift. This belief was thought to be especially true if the wearer was not born under the astrological sign of Aries or not born in the month of October.
