The Tree of Life has always had a strong symbolism in many different eras and times.
The Tree of Life is spoken of in the Christian Bible, a symbol of God's love for Adam and Eve, whose fruits could not be eaten at the expense of the loss of eternal life.
In Egyptian mythology, trees gave green to the isolated expanses of the desert and therefore were seen as a representation of the divine, as if a god wanted to bless that place by giving it life.
Chinese mythology tells of a tree that produced precious fruits, capable of ensuring immortality for those who ate them (the fruit appeared only once every three hundred years).

Opalite is a crystal composed of Hydrated Silica. the crystalline structure of this stone is defined as amorphous as the formation process occurs very quickly. The chaotic arrangement of the silica spheres inside, not unlike that of the crystals, creates a diffraction phenomenon of light, which gives the stone a special "opalescence" which increases the refraction of light rays, and the effects of chromatic decomposition.

In ancient times, opal was highly valued but at the same time feared. Due to its ability to reflect all colors, it was believed to contain the powers of all stones. It was called "The stone of the eyes" because it was thought that it could believed, develop "Sight", or clairvoyance, divinatory powers and spiritual awareness.

Among the Romans he was often called "Cupidos Paederos" or "a child as beautiful as love", a symbol of purity, honesty and innocence.

In Greek mythology, Opals were considered the tears of joy that Zeus cried after the defeat of the Titans.

In Indian legends the Great Mother Goddess transformed the young goddess of the rainbow into Opal to prevent her from being bothered by male deities.

The Aztecs believed that the Opal was the stone of Quetzalcoatl, the winged serpent god of creation.

In the Middle Ages, as stone could be compared to a light in the fog, it was thought that it could give the ability to act without being seen, hence "the stone of thieves".

Opal stimulates the joy of living and helps you "see your life in color". The structural "Chaos" that it contains in itself, gives an Energy without Time or Space, Chaotic and without Structure, but which can open a sea of ??Possibilities. Moreover, precisely because it induces us to look through the crystals and their refractions, the effort due to the search for a clear vision, is thought to open the perception of the world closest and surrounding us, a place where our guiding spirits and angels stop. custodians.

From this comes the belief that this stone allows you to have a greater possibility of interlacing with these spirits and sensorially dialogue with them.

It therefore tends to be a stone of goodness, protection, positivity and joy of life.
