Peruvian opal's soft relaxing energies activate the fifth (throat) chakra, an action that is thought to improve communication skills by enhancing one's ability to pick the right words as well as to voice one's opinions clearly.

By helping to shift the focus from oneself to others, it also helps take the tension out of communication, diminishing emotional differences, stimulating thoughts and letting ideas flow freely.

Stimulating a child like curiosity, Peruvian opal helps one see the world as a huge adventure. This may be, in part, because Peruvian opal's soothing colors help soften the impact of stress from the outside world, helping one release the trauma of old wounds as one responds to its tranquil healing nature.
