Black opal earns its name due to its dark body tone, which contrasts with the vibrant play of colors it exhibits. Unlike common opals that typically have a milky or white base color, black opal has a dark gray to black base color. This dark background enhances the intensity and brilliance of the spectral colors that flash across its surface when it is moved under light. These colors can include blues, greens, reds, and yellows, creating a mesmerizing effect reminiscent of a starry night sky or deep ocean depths.

Here are some commonly believed benefits of black opal:

1. **Emotional Healing**: Black opal is thought to have a calming and stabilizing effect on the emotional body. It can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression, promoting a sense of inner peace and tranquility.

4. **Energy Balance**: Black opal is said to balance the energy within the aura, harmonizing the yin and yang energies. This balance is thought to promote a sense of wholeness and integration within oneself.

5. **Manifestation and Confidence**: Some believe that black opal can aid in manifesting one’s desires and goals. It is also thought to boost self-confidence and encourage assertiveness when pursuing one’s ambitions.

6. **Connection with the Divine**: For those on a spiritual journey, black opal is believed to enhance intuition and facilitate connection with higher spiritual energies. It can be used during meditation to deepen spiritual insights and experiences.
