Every generation and every historian and every political system sees history in its own way, so in that way, some history must be a myth.

Another name for opal is "fire 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"
