Welo Opal:

The play of colors in opal is due to the refraction of light within the cristobalite microspheres. In Greek mythology, it was said to have originated from the tears of Zeus's good fortune after his victory over the Titans. In India, it is the goddess of the rainbow, solidified into stone when she fled from the troublesome gods.

Origin: Ethiopia.

Properties: Brings earthly joy, opal strengthens desire, eroticism and sexuality.

Zodiac sign: Capricorn

Diopsidium:

It is also known by the misleading name of Russian Emerald, because quality specimens have a color very similar to this gemstone. Chromium diopside is a variety of a beautiful emerald green. This intense green hue is due to the presence of chromium within the stone's crystalline structure. Following its relatively recent discovery in Russia, it has been marketed with great success as a gemstone that offers a lower price alternative to emerald and other more expensive green gems.

Properties: It teaches humility and helps you value what you truly feel, to follow your intuition and trust your ability to feel.

Origin: Pakistan
