This natural Ethiopian opal looks like it has a tiny blue galaxy trapped inside it.
The pear-shaped cabochon shifts through luminous blue, violet, turquoise and flashes of bright green depending on the light and angle. Set in white bronze with ornate scrolling details along the band, the whole thing has the look of some strange little magical object rather than an ordinary gemstone ring.
And that's the fun of opal. It doesn't stay visually still. Turn your hand slightly and something that looked pale and ethereal suddenly throws an electric streak of blue or green back at you.
Metaphysically, opal is traditionally associated with intuition, psychic perception, creativity, inspiration and transformation. I particularly like this one as a reminder to pay attention to those quieter intuitive nudges that don't necessarily arrive with supporting documentation.
The unexplained hesitation. The person who suddenly pops into your mind. The tarot card you keep coming back to. That little something is weird here feeling your rational brain would very much like to dismiss.
Wear it during tarot or psychic work, meditation, creative work or anytime you want to pay closer attention to what you're picking up beneath the obvious.
Or give it absolutely no job whatsoever and wear it because every time you move your hand, the damn thing changes color.
That's enough.
