About Owyhee Blue Opal

Owyhee opal is a very new variety to join the opal family. It was first discovered in 2003 from the eastern Oregon in 2003. It got the name as it was found near the sacred Indian springs of Owyhee.

The main characteristic of Owyhee blue opal is its sky blue color which resembles the color of fine blue Chalcedony. One more thing to know about Owyhee opal is that it is mostly translucent when take out from earth but it will gradually become opaque. This transition is due to the fact that when the stone is exposed to air, the water contained inside the stone starts to evaporate.

As per a study done by a group of scientist, the blue color of Owyhee opal is due to a light scattering phenomenon known as Rayleigh scattering.  In the normal blue opal (from Peru and France), the color comes from copper silicate inclusions.

Even though it is a relatively new gemstone variety, it still has many benefits for the wearer. Let’s break down those benefits to following subtopics and go through the list one by one.

1. Chakra Healing and Energy Balancing
2. Physical Healing Benefits
3. Emotional Healing Benefits
4. Paranormal Powers

1. Chakra Healing and Energy Balancing

The Owyhee blue opal is a combination of pure blue ray and subtle gold patches which activates the throat chakra and the third eye chakra respectively.

This is a great combination as the third eye chakra controls the perception and throat chakra powers the speech and expression. With both activated, a person will be able to see with clarity,  speech and actions will be fueled with confidence and authority.

As the stone helps to clear and balance the throat chakra, it is highly useful for singers as well as speakers. The energy of the stone also helps a person to find the correct words and tones to convey the true meaning.

The Owyhee blue opal is great to overcome low confidence and other effects of blocked energies such as inability to take decisions, shyness, fear, inability to express, inhibition and feeling of powerlessness.

Since the stone injects clarity, the powers it awakens within us does not come out as aggression or arrogance. The powers will be coupled with softness as the mind is filled with certainty.  A person will choose words and actions with soft calm strength in order to strive to achieve his/her goals.

2. Physical Healing Benefits

The energy of throat chakra in this stone is beneficial to the physical body as well and it can be used to treat numerous health conditions in the throat. It is useful for viral and bacterial inflammations, overuse of vocal codes or exposure to smoke.

As mentioned earlier, Owyhee blue opal is great for singers and speakers because it activates the throat chakra and the above mentioned ability of healing overused vocal codes makes the stone even more useful for such professions.

The stone has mild cooling effects for inflammations in other parts of the body as well.

3. Emotional Benefits

The Owyhee blue opal improves a person’s experience of positive emotions but without enhancing negative emotions.

It also makes one be logically fearless and encourages to take calculated risks. When someone is overly thinking about everything that can go wrong, it ads unnecessary fears. Energy of this stone helps a person to do what needs to be done and keep the focus and determination till the end.
