Opal

Opal is a highly protective stone and is especially helpful for sensitive people who are looking for help calming the mind and accessing higher levels of intuition. It is a karmic stone, meaning that what you put out comes back to you, including your thoughts and emotions. This stone can assist in discovering your true potential and enhances your originality. Depending on the color of opal you have, its association with the different chakras varies.

Note: Opal lacks a crystalline structure and therefore isn't technically a crystal. They are delicate and should not be cleansed in water or salt.
