Blue Opal Palm Stone - 1.5-2.25 inch

Blue Opal Palm Stone is a smooth, polished gallet-style flattened oval in soft blue to blue-grey, often marked with pale tan or cream veining running through the stone. Each Blue Opal Palm Stone carries its own depth of colour and pattern, and the rounded, gently domed shape sits comfortably in the palm, warming quickly to the touch.

Blue Opal is traditionally associated with calm and stress relief, and it is commonly used to support intuition and spiritual awareness. A palm stone is meant to be held, so many people keep one close during quiet moments or reflection. Its soft, soothing blue tone also makes it a thoughtful gift for anyone seeking a gentle grounding presence.

Geological Information
Blue Opal is a hydrated silica mineraloid, amorphous rather than crystalline, with a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5. Its pale to medium blue colour, sometimes carrying a milky or opalescent quality, comes from trace copper or other mineral content within the silica matrix, and it occurs without the play of colour seen in precious opal. "Blue Opal" is a broad trade name covering several genuinely distinct blue-toned opal varieties sold under this label, most commonly Peruvian or Andean Blue Opal and Owyhee Blue Opal from Oregon and Idaho, along with other regional blue common opal sold under the same generic name; without a confirmed specific source, this piece may be any of these varieties. All share the same general hydrated-silica composition, formed through the precipitation of silica-rich water in cavities and voids, and all contain roughly 3 to 21 percent water, making the material sensitive to prolonged heat and dryness. Blue Opal is most commonly sourced from Peru and the western United States, with general opal sources also including Australia, Mexico, and Ethiopia.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding. Blue Opal contains a small amount of water within its structure and can be permanently damaged by prolonged heat or dryness, which may cause cracking known as crazing. Store away from direct heat sources and sunlight.
