PERUVIAN BLUE OPAL…..the “Calming Stone”



The Peruvian Blue Opal (also called blue opal) is a semi-opaque to opaque blue-green stone with colors similar to the Caribbean Sea.  This stone is also known as the “peacock opal”.  The color intensity of the stone can vary within a single specimen.


Peruvian Blue Opal is relatively rare and is only found in the Andes Mountains near San Patricio, Peru.  Blue Peruvian opal is a sedimentary stone formed at low temperatures from igneous rock with a high silica content. The composition is mostly silicon, hydrogen, and oxygen.


The Peruvian blue opal has soft relaxing energies.  Folk lore states that Blue Peruvian opal is a ”calming stone” that can quiet the mind and ease sleep problems.  Legend says that it takes the tension out of communication and helps ideas flow freely. It softens the impact of stress from the outside world and can help one to release the trauma of old wounds. It facilitates facing the future with a tranquil healing nature.  It is stated that all opals project the energies of the wearer, positive or negative.
