The first two weeks in the studio had our members trying to remember how to use the equipment and trying to locate where it was placed. The flooding problem got resolved when the plumbers actually saw where the water was coming from and then tightened down the lids on the sanitary traps under the sinks. To make sure we were set to go on the lapidary equipment, I volunteered to teach basic lapidary to Karen. Karen has demonstrated that she has a great talent for lapidary work and that I had fun working with her. Welcome to October! This is the time of year that we need to renew our memberships. The cost remains the same at $50.00 for a single membership and $80.00 for a family membership. Do you know of friends or family members that are looking for something different to do?

4 Myth and Lore of Opal: October s Birthstone Long, long ago, when the earth was young and elements were divine, the Storm God lolled about, playing amidst the wind and clouds in his luminous sphere. The rain came down in sheets, whipped through the sky, pelting the earth. Amid the lightning strikes, with black clouds riding the mountains and plains like emboldened dragons, the sunlight broke through the darkness. A rainbow appeared. The storm god grew angry and jealous of the rainbow s power. In a moment, he petrified it. Pieces of rainbow fell to the earth, becoming opals. Flash forward several tens of million of years into the fifteenth century. Imagine in another life time that you were a blond maiden. You were traveling through Cernowitz, Hungary where a community of about three hundred miners was mining for opals. You purchased one for a necklace. It would not only make you quite the fashionable rage, but give you talismanic power to protect the lovely color of your hair. The name of October s birthstone comes from the Sanskrit word, upala, which simply translates to precious gem. From the Sanskrit came the Greek word, opalios, and the Latin, opalus. October s birthstone suggests the turn of leaves, gold, yellow, red, in the autumn months. I believe there is no gem more exquisite than a fine opal, and yet many people are reluctant to own one because they are believed to bring bad luck. Opals are fragile and brittle. Many an opal has cracked on a jewelers bench during the setting. Jewelers have helped to perpetuate the myth and discourage opals because, when you crack a valuable gem on the bench, you naturally blame it on bad luck and not your own skill set. In Arab myth and lore opals were held to be created when lightening strikes the earth. When lightening strikes sand, glass is formed. Like glass, opals are extremely brittle and fragile. The second origin of opals being bad luck comes from the notion of the evil eye. Lapidaries in Europe in the Middle Ages call the gem, ophthalmios, eye stone. The eye of a dragon. or any malignant god was said to be bad luck. A Scandinavian story Volondr, the equivalent of the Roman god, Vulcan, described another source of opals. He was said to have created them from the eyes of children. The notion of the evil eye is widely held. The evil eye can seduce, which is why you should take care when you see the eyes in peacock feathers. I recently traveled through Turkey where glass charms are sold, concentric circles with a dark spot in the center, said to ward off the evil eye. In an ancient cavern with Roman columns under the streets of Istanbul was a column with a Medusa carving. The origin of this evil eye, I was told, was the ancient story of this snake headed demon goddess that turned heroes into stone something many men have experienced with their wives, metaphorically speaking, of course. In these cultures, to have oneself cast by an evil implies far more than sleeping in separate beds. Eyes, being the windows of the soul, give access to one s essence. Perhaps to be given the evil eye implies a kind of stain on one s immortal divinity, which translate, in Hamlet s words, to bad luck while in the day to day slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Certainly many of us have experienced a sinking feeling in our stomachs after being glanced by someone who had malignant intent. Yet opals were also held in high esteem. One gem, called the Orphanus, was set in a crown of the Holy Roman Empire. Said to glow with inner fire in the darkness, the opal represented the empire s regal honor. Opals were used as the eyes of deities. The Roman s knew opals as cupid stone, symbolic of purity and hope. These stories suggest the true power of opals deals with a kind of visioning. Going back to the original story, the rainbow is metaphor for purity and blessing. At the end of the rainbow is the pot of gold-gold being the final alchemical process, the manifestation of one s own divinity. Rainbows also are about understanding something from many different perspectives. Opals contain the full color range. The view of orange is different than the view of blue or green. A rainbow is white light broken into various hues. Some esoteric traditions hold that colors represent the various qualities of souls. Shamanic practitioners in the Americas and Australia have used opals as a type of medicine that enables clarity. Perhaps opals enable you to dream a different vision of your life, one based on the universal perspective of the rainbow. While this path may not make you popular, it certainly will give you the satisfaction and radiance of fulfilling your inner duty.

6 The History and Legend of Opal - Gem of Yore by Fara Braid For centuries, opal was regarded as a stone of kings and the bringer of good luck. In modern times the opal has become the subject of much superstition and all but the black opal have earned a reputation of being unlucky. The fact that it is such a beautiful and unique stone has gone a long way to help opal owners to disregard the superstitions, yet they do remain. In ancient times, (the opal is actually a fairly modern stone), the opal was considered a stone of great benefit to the eye. It was worn to cure diseases of the eyes, as well as to render the carrier of the stone invisible to the eyes of others. To produce invisibility an opal would be wrapped in a fresh bay leaf and carried on the person. This supposed trait of invisibility earned the opal the designation of patronus furum or patron of thieves. A more magical take on the invisibility theme, is that the opal aids in astral projection, a state in which one is definitely invisible. The inner fire of the fire opal is supposedly attractive to the forces that bring money. The cost of fine opals alone does point to the necessary presence of money. The darkness and depth of the black opal is thought to hold and release power for magicians in their magical workings. Of course, if they use this power for good or bad is up to the discretion of the magician in question, it has no bearing on the stone itself. George Kunz attributes the change in perception of this lovely gemstone to a novel by Sir Walter Scott, Anne of Geierstein. In the story, an enchanted princess wears an equally enchanted opal adornment in her hair. Its color changes to reflect her moods and tempers. At the climax of the story, holy water is sprinkled on the opal, which causes its fire to go out. The lady perishes. Once the stone of kings, second only to the emerald, the fragile opal has a personality and belief sys- tem surrounding it as varied and convoluted as the inner fires of the stone itself. The opal is still regarded as a stone of good luck, though superstitions do have a tendency to reinforce themselves in the minds of those who hold them. This tale of bad luck befalling the wearer of an opal, combined with the fact that many gem workers refused to work on the fragile opal, (you break it, you ve bought it,) seems to be the basis for the bad rap that haunts this lovely stone even today. The human imagination has expanded upon this theme, to the point where a lady told me the other day that it was VERY bad luck to wear an opal if it was not your birthstone.
