opal necklaceThe significance was that it was cursed, so could injure Katie Bell. It has no further plot line.

It was meant to curse Dumbledore, not Katie Bell. Draco wanted KAtie to give it to Dumbledore He Impurused madam Rosmerta to Impirus Katie or a student (which happened to be Katie) to hurt Dumbledore and possibly kill him (that was draco's mission).

The opal was originally thought of as a symbol of purity, but after Sir Walter Scott's novel "Anne of Geierstien" (in which a mystic opal necklace killed a Baroness) opals were then thought of a bad omen and would cause bad luck.
