Dark violet crystals have special powers. They are the “dream crystals.” They are the windows to the soul and the world beyond our ordinary understanding. They are best for aiding us in interpreting our dreams, and are the entries to places in our minds we don’t know exist. In this opal they are mixed with brown.
The earthy, grounding brown color rays augmented by the myriad of other color rays in this opal bring us back to our mother earth. When you want to regain your composure, relax in your life, reconnect with the natural world, or just find the time to be yourself awhile, brown talismans, like the turquoise ones, are excellent aids. Modern life seems to disconnect us from the earth; we get caught up in the hustle and bustle. We forget to be human, and we ignore our true nature. When you do, these beautiful opals will reconnect you with your spirit.
