Lightening Ridge Black Opals are the rarest. It is an excellent grounding stone. Black Opal can be used to provide insights into matters of the past, present and future. The presence of the fire that is contained in the stone is a catalyst for the inner knowing, inner seeing and inner reconciliation of the information. It can be used for disorders related to reproduction, depression, and digestion. It can also be used in the treatment of dysfunctional eyesight. Hope this helps-it sure sounds like a beautiful stone! Blessings and Light, Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAlled " lighting Ridge Opal " . I dont know excatly the healing qualites of that opal. I do know however that some of the worlds best black opal comes from Honduras, in Central Mexico.. I have sevral pieces, and in my opinoin is one the of truest forms of " Black Opal " .. here a link to a piece i cut for my sister. http://makeashorterlink.com/?D21935E45 This opal is acutally a basalt host matirx, with opal spun through out it. Most is what we call " pin fire " opal.. but seams, crystal, and large potch opal can be found in certain grades. Very expensive material i saw going for $200 per ounce this past Tucson show. ANd the stuff is more diffecult to cut than most austrialn opal. BUt my favoite when i comes to opal, even if its tricky to cut. Sometimes there just not enough opal in the host rock.. and sometimes like the piece posted,, is full of it. Yet the basalt will still hold its porus nature. and why this material can be diffecult to cut. takecare Shain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
