Mexican Opal – Upal (ओपल)

Mexican Opal is a captivating gemstone renowned for its brilliant fire and vibrant flashes of color. Unlike other opals, Mexican Opal often appears in warm shades of orange, red, and fiery multicolor tones, symbolizing passion, creativity, and vitality. It is considered a gemstone of love, emotional balance, and prosperity, bringing joy, harmony, and positive energy into the life of the wearer.

Astrologically, Opal is associated with planet Venus (Shukra), which governs beauty, luxury, and relationships. Wearing a Mexican Opal enhances creativity, artistic expression, and self-confidence, while also strengthening bonds of love and companionship. It is believed to attract happiness, wealth, and peace, making it an auspicious choice for those seeking balance in both personal and professional life.

Mexican Opal is best worn in silver, white gold, or Panchdhatu (five-metal alloy), ideally on the index or ring finger on a Friday. To maximize its spiritual benefits, one should chant the sacred mantra “ॐ शुक्राय नमः” and perform 16,000 japa (repetitions).

Available in weights ranging from 5.25 to 8.50 carats, Mexican Opal is not only a gemstone of beauty but also a powerful talisman that brings passion, peace, and prosperity to its wearer.
