What is a myth for the gem opal?
One of the persistent myths concerning opal is that they bring bad luck or even death. This idiotic myth came into existence following the publication of Walter Scott's book: Anne of Geierstien in 1829. In Scott's novel the Baroness of Amheim wore an opal talisman with supernatural powers. When a drop of holy water falls on the talisman the opal turns into a colorless stone and the Baroness dies shortly after. Due to the popularity of Scott's novel, people came to associate opals with bad luck and death. Fortunately most modern folks (but not all) discount this myth and have come to prize opal as the "queen of gemstones" Sadly, occasionally, i will still hear someone state that opals are bad luck. I heard it put very well once: "the only thing bad luck about opals is not owning any"

Where can you find opals?
Opal is mined mainly in the country of Australia. It is also found in Nevada in the United States. You can also find opal at a Natural History Museum or a Rock Shop in your area, a good chance to study a variety in person. The Natural History Museum in Cleveland has an amazing collection. At a rock shop you can touch and feel the opal, so much better than browsing on the internet, which is a good source for information. One of the best rock shops is ROCK STAR CRYSTALS in Manhattan in NYC. They have a large variety of opals to look at, including fire opals, pink and blue andean opal, australian opals, ethiopian opals, honey opal, green opal, and even opal jewelry. Might be worth a visit to NYC just to check them out - and you can be awed by the mineral collection at the NYC Museum of Natural History at the same time!
