Kansas – MOSS OPAL

The Moss Opal can be identified by its milky white to brownish color stone containing green moss-like patterns. The most exciting of these stones look like little landscapes.

As far back as the Middle Ages, opals were considered lucky.  At one time it was believed that an opal would provide the owner with the power of invisibility.  The Opal was thought to assist one to achieve their personal goals and to obtain prosperity.  The Opal is a seductive gemstone that can intensify or stabilize emotions.  It is thought to assist in comforting those who are grieving.

The Moss Opal is considered to be the gemstone of relationships, and can strengthen family bonds as well as reconnect estranged lovers.  It can also be the “patron” stone of newlyweds as it encourages acceptance and harmony.

The Moss Opal is believed to help cure circulatory disorders, alleviate PMS, help to treat fevers and infections, and to improve memory function.  It is also rumored to aid in ailments of the eye.  The Moss Opal can also help with abdomen issues brought on by emotional stress and regulate the production of insulin. 

This variety of Opal is believed to have power over female hormones and help with issues related to childbirth.  As if that’s not enough, the Moss Opal is believed to be able to cure pneumonia.

The addition of a Moss Opal to my necklace will keep my emotions in check while I obtain personal prosperity.

Although Kansas does not have an official state gemstone, there are hints that legislation is pending to adopt Moss Opal to be its representative.  (Any bets on which comes first, the end of this blog or the adoption?)
