Metaphysical:

Opal is mystically known as a stone of courage and ingenuity. It's said to be an aid to creativity and communication of all types. It's also said to improve self-esteem and self-love and to help with stress reduction, fatigue and weight loss. It's associated primarily with the throat chakra.

INFO ON SLABS
Use my pictures with the 10 x 10 mm background squares and the 18 mm dime to help with size visualization. All pictures show a slab that has been given a nice glow or bright polish from 600-1500 diamond grit, some even have a mirror polish.

I try to eliminate all the pits and open fractures and I smooth all sides. I will note anything I couldn't remove. Your going to get a slab that is going to be easy to finish or use asis. I preform the slabs by sanding and shaping them with 120 to 600 diamond grit and sometimes up to 1500 grit, by removing all grit lines before the next stage in sanding gives the slab a superior looking finish and makes it ready for the next step. My preform really helps you cut down the time it takes you to finish these slabs. No waste to deal with.
