The fiery sunset colors of the fire opal epitomize its powerful positive influence during times of great stress. Particularly helpful in shedding light on one's purpose in life and encouraging one to look deeply within, fire opal adds clarity, depth and vigor to one's intuition and the process of self-reflection.

Related to the second (sacral or spleen) chakra, the seat of sexuality, fire opal lights the fire of positive sexuality and aids sexual healing by releasing and healing memories of incest, rape, and sexual abuse. It also assists one in leaving battered or abusive relationships and in establishing new relationships after trauma.

Physically, fire opal is said to stimulate the sexual organs, as well as activate the adrenal glands.
