Common Green Opal is the soft-focus filter your spirit’s been craving; cool mint to apple-green tones that feel like lying in the grass after rain. The vibe is calm, forgiving, and gently motivating. It clears emotional static, untangles worry, and helps you step back into life with a kinder rhythm. Think spa day for your nervous system and a green light for fresh starts.

Working through the Heart and Solar Plexus, Green Opal dissolves tension and reconnects you to simple, honest desires.

-
Supports grief processing and gentle release of old stories
-
Rekindles optimism and creative flow after burnout

Helps you act from a clear, present heart rather than autopilot
Scientific Fun Fact:
Common Opal is hydrated amorphous silica \mathrm{SiO_2\cdot nH_2O} with internal water often between 3–10%. Unlike precious opal, it lacks the orderly silica microspheres that create play-of-colour, so you get a velvety body tone instead. The green hue typically comes from traces of nickel or iron, and sometimes from microscopic inclusions like chlorite. Mohs hardness sits around 5.5–6.5; avoid harsh heat or long, dry storage to reduce crazing.
When to Use Common Green Opal:
-
Starting over after stress, heartbreak, or a big life pivot
-
During journalling, breathwork, or bath rituals to unwind and reset
-
As a daily pocket stone for calm confidence and soft boundaries
-
On the desk or bedside to keep the vibe light, clear, and hopeful
-
Any time you want a gentle cleanse and a kinder pace

What is intuitively chosen?
When you see the below bold sentence on a listing of ours, it means we have multiple of that stone and we will pick one that we feel is right for you. We call them intuitively chosen pieces because we use our intuition to choose a piece we feel is calling us for you - a piece that is absolutely meant to be yours. We are huge believers in the crystal chooses the owner, not the other way around.
We do our best to make sure that the listing photos and information accurately depicts what we have available so you have an idea of what is coming your way, but the rest is up to the universe.
If you don't see the below on our listing, it's because it is a one off piece and we guarantee that what is pictured is the exact piece you will receive.
"Price is per one piece, intuitively picked for you. The pictures represent the quality and sizing you can expect to receive however please note that stone is unique and one of a kind so there will be slight variations."
Shape significance
Using crystals for their spiritual and healing properties can be fun and fascinating and is a killer way to connect with the earth’s energy. But, when you really start digging into the magickal world of sparkly stones, it can start getting really overwhelming.
Not only do crystals come in every colour of the rainbow and serve different intended purposes, they are also found in many different shape formations. Newbies to the crystal world may think the way a stone is cut or shaped is purely aesthetic, but there’s a little more to a crystal’s shape than meets the eye. Just as the colours of the stones convey unique meanings, crystal shapes also matter. And while experts say that the structure of a crystal doesn’t change the type of energy it emits, the shape DOES affect the way you receive said energy.
