Opal
If ever there was a rock to symbolize the beauty in chaos, opal is it. With no specific chemical formula or crystal structure, it’s known for being inconsistent and unpredictable. This chaotic composition puts opals at risk of a condition called “crazing,” where anything from a vibration to a temperature change or even drying out too quickly results in random and unpredictable cracking. You’d think this would be a bad thing, but it turns out the very qualities that make them prone to crazing are what make them so prized. If you’ve ever seen the bright, fiery flashes and rainbow shimmers in gem quality opal (officially termed “play of color”), you’ll know for yourself how special this stone can be. If it popped up for you, it’s to tell you that struggling with structure makes you no less valuable as a person! In fact, being chaotic or even a bit crazed could be the very thing that gives you your playfulness, brightness, and flashes of brilliance!

One Or More Of These Messages Are For You
-
- Sometimes disorder and unpredictability are exactly what we need to access our brilliance!
- Madness is certainly not necessary for creativity, but it’s long been known as an inspiration for it. If you’ve been feeling a little nuts lately, see if you can channel that feeling into a creative project.
- If you tend to be a highly structured, organized person, try letting go even just a little bit and see if allows something beautiful to come into your life.
- If you’re working on something creative right now, don’t be too controlling, structured, or organized about it. Instead, let some wildness in and see where it takes you.
- If you’re a very sensitive person, try to make peace with that side of yourself. It might make you feel a bit crazed at times, but it’s part of what makes you beautiful.
- Be compassionate with yourself, not punishing, even when you think you’ve made a total mess of your life. You might be a mess, but you’re still a gem!
- If there is someone in your life who strikes you as overemotional, oversensitive, or drama-seeking, let go of your judgement and try to be kind to them.
