What are Pink Opal Crystals Good For?
All crystals have healing properties they're associated with that explain what they're "good for." In Pink Opal's case, there are four healing properties that can help you determine if it's the right crystal to incorporate into your healing practice.
Healing Property 1: Self-Love
The first healing property associated with Pink Opal is self-love. This crystal is celebrated for strengthening your connection with your inner-self and appreciating who you are. It can be easy to be down on yourself or be your own worst enemy—Pink Opal is believed to help you reframe your mindset to become your biggest champion.
If you feel like you haven't been loving who you are, or struggle with focusing on your flaws, this crystal could be good to incorporate into your healing practice. Many have used this crystal to focus on what they love about themselves and to accept who they are.
Healing Property 2: Hope
Pink Opal is also associated with hope. In times of tribulation, hope can be the only thing that keeps you afloat. It's a very powerful feeling to put at the forefront and can be your saving grace when times are tough.
If you're going through a period of loss or struggling with something personal, Pink Opal is believed to help give you hope. Hope is never lost and Pink Opal can help you find it.
Healing Property 3: Empathy
This crystal is revered for amplifying empathy. Empathy is what connects us as humans—it's what helps us put aside our differences and discover common goals. Empathy is a skill that can help the world seem less scary and can be what unites us together.
If you struggle to feel empathetic towards others, or find yourself in a decision-making position, Pink Opal could be a valuable crystal for you.
Healing Property 4: Tranquility
Finally, Pink Opal is associated with tranquility. When you can't seem to relax and all of your worries are constantly at the forefront of your mind, finding moments of peace and tranquility are vital.
It is believed that Pink Opal can amplify feelings of tranquility in a person. It is celebrated for helping people truly relax and recharge. To push those worries aside and just be.
If you feel like anything we mentioned above resonates with your current needs, it could be a sign that Pink Opal is the right crystal for you. Crystal healing is dependent on intentions—you need to decide what you want to experience with your practice. Choosing a crystal that aligns with those intentions is one of the first steps to crystal healing!
What Chakra is Pink Opal Aligned With?
Pink Opal is unsurprisingly aligned with the heart chakra. The heart chakra is what contains our ability to feel love, compassion, and connect with others. When out of alignment, you might be feeling alone and isolated. It is believed that Pink Opal can bring the heart chakra back into alignment, leaving you feeling loved by yourself and others.
What Signs Should Wear Pink Opal Crystal Jewelry?
Pink Opal is believed to have strong associations to the Gemini and Aquarius zodiac signs. For Geminis, Pink Opal can give them the peace and relaxation they need when they accidentally spread themselves thin. Geminis are known for being extroverts and agreeing to pretty much anything. That doesn't leave a lot of down time to recharge.
Aquarians are very sensitive and take what people say to them to heart. This can leave them in vulnerable positions that invites a lot of self-doubt and a lack of self-love. Pink Opal can help remind them that the only opinion that truly matters is their own and if they love themselves, what other people say about them doesn't matter.
How to Cleanse Pink Opal Crystals
Besides intentions and the crystal itself, energy is another key component of crystal healing. This can refer to the energy in your surrounding environment, the energy you put out, or the energy your crystal puts out. You can control the energy your crystal puts out by cleansing it before you begin your practice.
There is a chance that your crystal is charged with negative energy based on what it encountered in its journey from us to you. That's completely natural and can be easily remedied. We have shared a few cleansing recommendations for your Pink Opal to get rid of any negative energy that might be affecting your crystal:
- Run it under water. Pink Opal is a water-safe crystal which means you can use a stream of water for cleansing. A stream of fresh water is preferred for this method, however, we recognize that not everyone has easy access to fresh water. Water from the tap can also work to rid your crystal of negative energy. Hold your Pink Opal crystal element under your chosen stream of water for a few minutes to effectively cleanse it. Make sure your crystal is completely dry before you begin wearing it.
- Bury it in soil. It is believed that soil can absorb negative energy. You can bury your crystal in either soil outside or a potted plant and leave it there overnight. Make sure you rinse off any dirt and completely dry your crystal before you use it.
- Burn sage. Many herbs are used by crystal healers for cleansing. You can either burn a bundle of sage or burn incense and circle your element through the smoke. If you do decide to use this method, make sure you're burning your sage safely.
Every month or so, you'll want to engage in one of the cleansing methods listed to get rid of any negative energy that your pink opal encounters through daily wear. It doesn't have to be the same method each time, choose what is most convenient for you!
Set Your Healing Intention With Pink Opal Crystals
Once you've ensured you're not bringing negative energy from your crystal into your practice, you'll want to reflect on any negative energy you might be bringing into your practice. Harboring doubts or skepticisms about crystal healing can bring negative energy into your practice. It's important that you work through any doubts you're having for the most effective experience with crystal healing.
After you've cleared your mind and opened yourself up to the possibilities of your practice, it's time to set an intention. As we mentioned above, goal setting is a key component to crystal healing. Intentions should be specific and related to the properties and associations of your crystal. In the case of Pink Opal, you might consider setting an intention to be kind to yourself and start celebrating small victories. You could also set an intention to thoroughly heal and grow from a tumultuous past relationship.
Once you've decide what you'd like your intention to be, write it down somewhere you'll regularly read it. Writing your intention down helps solidify it in your mind and can help you remember what you hoped to accomplish with your healing practice. Then, take your Pink Opal element in your hands and speak your intention into it a few times. As you wear your element, think about your intention and make choices that align with it.
As time passes, you might accomplish what you set out to or decide that your intention is no longer relevant. Life is constantly changing and it isn't unexpected that you'll need to change your intention to align with your current situation. To set a new intention, use one of the cleansing methods we recommended above and repeat the intention-setting process with your new intention.
