− | + | ===''Superstitions''=== | |
+ | During the Middle Ages, opal was regarded as providing great luck to the wearer or owner, though during the Victorian era it shifted to being regarded as unlucky by superstitions engineered by established gem dealers. Some, however, thought that this was avoided if they were born in October, as opal is the birthstone for those born in October, or if the opal was received as a gift. As recently as the the reign of the last czar in the 20th Century, it was believed by some Russians that the opal embodied the evil eye, and they should not purchase anything from a dealer with opals. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is possible that the Dwarves regard Opal as lucky like those during the Middle Ages, hence the ornamental opals having highest value of all ornamental gems. | ||
