In Short

These are A-grade Blue Opal tumbled stones from Acari, Peru, sold by the piece or by the pound. Andean Blue Opal is a common opal, valued for its soft pastel blue rather than play-of-color. Each piece runs 1-1.50 inches at Mohs 5.5 and was bought directly at the source. A favorite stress relief stone for pockets.

About This Blue Opal

Blue Opal is a opal (hydrated silica).

Sourced directly from Arequipa, Peru. Worth knowing: a lot of the blue opal on the market is heat-treated, stabilized, and coated. What we carry is natural and untreated.

Traditionally Used For

Blue opal is traditionally a stone for working through difficult feelings at your own pace, quiet, steady calm, and listening to the quieter signals. It's traditionally linked to the throat and third eye chakras. If that resonates, hold it for a few breaths before a conversation that matters. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Moderate-High

Blue Opal sits at 5.5 on the Mohs scale, about as hard as glass, so it handles daily use but will scratch against harder stones. Long soaks dull the surface, so keep any water contact brief and dry it fully.

  • Wipe Dry
  • Quick Rinse Only
  • Do Not Soak
  • Store Protected
  • Stable Room Temperature
  • Handle Gently

Avoid

  • Prolonged Water
  • Saltwater
  • High Heat
  • Smoke/Soot
  • Chemical Cleaners
  • Smoke

Traditional practice: cleanse with sound, breath or intention; charge under moonlight, morning sunlight (brief) or intention. Offered as tradition, not instruction.

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real blue opal, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural blue opal from Acari, Peru. Untreated.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 1 to 1.5 inches on its longest side and weighs 15 to 30 grams. About 16 to 24 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does A grade mean?

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

This batch is from Arequipa, Peru. It came to us through a direct source, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
