Black opal properties are restorative and cleansing, offering purification to the body and soul. In fact, due to its rarity and expensive nature, Black Opal is seen as a romantic symbol of "the one".

 Opal is primarily used in jewelry, including rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. It is often cut into cabochons to enhance its play of color, though some may be faceted for a different look. Opal's beauty and uniqueness make it a popular choice for both everyday wear and special occasions.
