Fire opals are nature's most captivating display of sunset captured within stone. Like a perfectly preserved moment of dusk, these remarkable gems hold within them a dance of orange, red, and gold that seems to flicker with an inner flame. Today, let's explore these fascinating gemstones that have captivated collectors and jewelry enthusiasts for centuries.
What Makes Fire Opals Unique?Unlike common opals with their characteristic play of colors, fire opals are distinguished by their warm, transparent to translucent body color ranging from yellow to orange to bright red. The most prized specimens come from Mexico, where they've been cherished since the time of the Aztecs, who called them quetzalitzlipyollitli — the stone of the bird of paradise. The Play of LightWhat makes fire opals truly spectacular is their ability to display different colors depending on the viewing angle. This isn't just any reflection — it's a natural phenomenon called schiller, where light dances through the stone's microstructure, creating a mesmerizing display of color and movement. Fire Opal Benefits: Why You Should Consider This GemstoneFrom spiritual practices to emotional healing, the benefits of fire opals go far beyond their beauty. Here's why they continue to be a favorite among crystal healers, collectors, and anyone seeking vibrant energy in their lives. 1. Stimulates Passion and CreativityFire opals are widely believed to awaken your inner fire — sparking creativity, artistic expression, and emotional energy. Artists and creators often use fire opal to break through creative blocks and rediscover inspiration. 2. Boosts Confidence and Personal PowerAssociated with the sacral chakra, fire opals are said to enhance courage, self-esteem, and assertiveness. Whether you're facing a major life transition or simply need a confidence boost, fire opal may help you reconnect with your personal strength. 3. Promotes Emotional HealingMany people turn to fire opals for emotional healing. They are thought to assist in releasing past trauma, clearing energetic blockages, and encouraging emotional balance — especially after heartbreak or periods of grief. 4. Amplifies Energy and IntentionIn crystal healing, fire opals are considered energy amplifiers. This makes them useful tools during meditation, manifestation, or intention-setting rituals. The stone’s natural vibrancy is thought to heighten focus and clarity, supporting personal growth and transformation. 5.

My journey started at Little Cottonwood Canyon, Utah spring 2009. I was meditating on a boulder when I saw something glistening in the creek. I took a closer look and found that it was a wire-wrapped pendant with a Herkimer Diamond and Moldavite. When I picked it up a rush of energy ran through my body. I crossed the creek and off the beaten path and laid down. As I did, a warmth came over my body. I felt the Earth envelop me as I became one with her, laying there I could hear a faint drumming # - # # - # - # # repeating and getting louder by the moment. After a few moments, it seemed that the drumming was right on top of me, within me. I lay there feeling the healing power of the earth, eventually drumming faded away and I felt like I was reborn from the Earth. With this new revitalized energy, I was inspired to wrap up some crystals and this is how Earth Beat wire wrap pendants came to be.
In the age of crystal shopping shifting to the internet, one has to use care to select the right vendor and the right crystals. To find the right vendor is easy of course Lotus!!! haha. No worries we are open to enough abundance for everyone, besides who wants to be the amazon of crystals aka Etsy.
The tough question is what crystal?? What are you looking for healing, a rock that makes you feel good, a gift or just whatever. You can use the chakra system to determine the crystal, example I am feeling lack of confidence, activate your solor plex chakra with a tiger eye, citrine etc. You can also use the elements like water to smooth things over at work, allow cooperation, a good crystal is blue lace agate. Maybe a little fire to spice up your love life rose quartz, hematiod quartz. Once you decide on a crystal that you want you have to find one online. If you are like me you might need a unakite (crystal that assist with making choices) just saying. You are almost there once you find a good site for your crystals, you can try muscle test by looking at the crystal on the screen and ask "is this one for me" (gift just say their name) while pressing down with your middle finger on you index finger (index finger pushes up). If it feel strong your good to go if its feel weak pass. My personal favorite is to close my eyes and just focus on my intension and open and one will literally jump out and call to you. If all fails just move the mouse around in circles clockwise while your eyes are closed and stop randomly or click randomly. I know this maybe crazy but i have found some of the best gifts using some of these techniques. Trust and always follow your heart. Much Love b Tiger Eye gives one courage to stand up for what you want.
Lapis is good stone for communication and trust. Moss Agate can assist to calm the nerves. Black Tourmaline protects your energy field from negative energies. Clear Quartz can be used to energize the other stones. Pick one or two crystals to carry with you to boost your self confidence. Crystals have a draw on most beings of light, as that they call to you and present themselves in the light of beauty. They are tools presented to us by the Earth to use to heal and create awakening.
There are many ways Crystals work, by the stars signs, by the color, by the elemental content and other. You can select some stones that go with your zodiac sign or just get one that you are attracted to. Either way just get one in your hands and see how they feel. Always follow your heart. Numerology is a philosophy based on mathematical principles. It’s simply the explanation of frequency or energy – which is what makes up the entire universe. It is a universal language in which sounds, matter, time and space can be defined. The frequency in which your soul entered into this world (your Life Path) directly determines and attracts to you specific experiences on this earth.
Alternatively, when you were born, your parents assigned to you a name or mathematical equation. This is what others know us as and what we begin to identity with as well. This creates energy that will compel us to think, act and manifest specific people, situations, thoughts and feelings. Prolonged feelings (energy) becomes moods, prolonged moods become personality and overtime turns into our state of being. The combination of your Life Path and name may be in harmony and keep you true to your life’s purpose – allowing your soul energy to flow freely. On the other hand, your name’s frequency may be causing disharmony and unfortunate circumstances. This could manifest poor finances, unhealthy relationships or ailments. An example of disharmony would be someone who is born to be a humanitarian but is given a name that alienates others from them, leaving them alone and feeling a lack of fulfillment in their life. Numerology is one of the main reasons why some people are always in the right place at the right time or they seem move through life effortlessly. Others on the other hand, may not be so fortunate. This simply isn’t fair. Especially since parents don’t realize the effects a name can create in their children’s lives. The ancients understood the power of name. This is why rulers repeated the same name over and over – because they found them to be the most effective for ruling a nation. There are many examples throughout history in which cultures underwent naming ceremonies. To summarize, numerology is tool used to help people understand the energy that has impacted their lives. Alternative spelling or a name change may be suggested to help harmonize oneself. While we can’t change our Life Path, adjustments can be made to the frequency we identify with (our name). This in turn, will align ourselves with who we were born to be. According to the philosophy of numerology, this energetic change will create new states of being, attract positive experiences, improve health and much more.

I like chiastolite it typically has a cross, cross patterns have been used for centuries to ward of vampires (energy suckers) and is a symbol for being at a cross road of life. Good for making choices that work, chiastolite is also the stone of awakening. Combine with carnelian to give it a boost and energize the creation energies and infuse it with the flame of power. Add charoite to transform any dis-cord that may arise as you shift into higher divine light and let things rise to the level of love that you are.
