Historically, beliefs associated with the wearing of opal have varied. The early Greeks thought that opals gave their owners the powers of foresight and prophecy. Romans adored it as a token of hope and purity. Eastern people regarded it as sacred. Arabs believed it fell from heaven. Opal's name evolved from the Roman word “opalus” from the Greek word “opallios” - "to see a change of color." The Greek word was a modification of the ancient Indian Sanskrit name for opal, “upala,” which meant "precious stone." If one spoke in mixed tongues, then opal would be opallios upala, "to see a change of color precious stone." As indicated by the derivation of its name, opal has centuries of history as a treasured gemstone.
