It takes its name from the Sanskrit word Upala which means "jewel", and later the Greek O pállios which means "to see a change in colour ." In the Middle Ages, opal was considered a stone that could provide great luck as it was believed to possess all the virtues of each gemstone, whose colour was represented in the colour spectrum of the opal. A note on diamond: April's birthstone, the diamond is said to represent love, strength and a long life. Referred to as the 'king of gems' due to its unique powers of light reflection and being one of the hardest natural substances known. BOLDER AND MINI VERSIONS AVAILABLE.
