A gem of shifting colours and hidden depths, Opal is ruled by Shukra (Venus) — the planet of beauty, luxury, love, and creative expression. Opal is often chosen when life feels dull, relationships lose spark, or confidence needs rebuilding. It is a gem for those ready to restore joy, magnetism, and emotional clarity — gently and beautifully.
रंग बदलता यह रत्न सौंदर्य, प्रेम और रचनात्मक ऊर्जा का प्रतीक है — शुक्र ग्रह से जुड़ा हुआ। जब जीवन की चमक फीकी पड़ जाए, रिश्तों में ठहराव आ जाए, या आत्मविश्वास डगमगाने लगे — तब ओपल नये उजाले की तरह आता है। यह रत्न है सौंदर्य, संतुलन और मानसिक शांति को फिर से पाने का।
Opal is recommended for those influenced by Shukra (Venus) — especially in times of:
– Shukra Dasha or Antardasha
– Relationship challenges, emotional instability, or trust issues
– Loss of charm, creative block, or low confidence
– Fertility-related concerns (traditionally)
– Career choices in beauty, fashion, arts, or performance
Opal brings soft magnetism, clarity in matters of the heart, and support in emotional healing. It is especially helpful during or after periods of emotional turbulence.
🇦🇺 Australian Opal
The most famous and reliable source of high-quality opals. Known for white to milky base tones with flashes of rainbow fire. Australian Opals are stable, and suitable for both astrological and aesthetic purposes.
🇪🇹 Ethiopian Opal
More affordable and widely available. Tends to absorb water and can temporarily lose its fire in humid environments. We only carry stable, pre-tested Ethiopian Opals that meet durability and glow benchmarks. Ethiopian Opals are hydrophane in nature, meaning they absorb water easily. They must be protected from prolonged moisture, humidity, or direct contact with liquids, as this can cause temporary cloudiness or loss of fire. Always store in a dry place.
Q: Do Opals change colour or fade?
A: Natural Opals show colour play due to internal silica structures — this is real, not artificial. Some Ethiopian Opals may temporarily go cloudy with water exposure but return to normal once dry.
Q: Are your Opals treated or coated?
A: No. All Opals sold on PreciousCarats are untreated, uncoated, and 100% natural. No plastic/resin infill or artificial shine.
Q: Can Opal be worn for Venus-related issues?
A: Yes — Opal is the most recommended gem for Shukra (Venus) and is commonly worn during Shukra Dasha, or for support in love, marriage, fertility, charm, and artistic careers.
