My Love For Opals

Their delicate nature entices me to try harder
to stare into their translucence and see their souls
They speak to me from a variety of places
They are the opals, and they epitomize imagination
I wear them cheerfully, understanding their need
To show off their full power, and to enhance mine.
They make me bold, wittier, more effervescent.
They are the opals, and they surround a band I wear daily
enhancing a beautiful pear-shaped blue aquamarine 
I have loved them forever, my jewelry box is a reflection of this

How splendid! Lucky you! I have a 'thing' for opals too. Lighting Ridge here in Aus puts the best coloured ones out. Named my only girl Opal eight years ago.

I just have to say I think they are darling. Congrats on having your own OPAL. We have a Daisy in our family. She is the closest nature name we have.
