​

Normally opal is hard and non porous and not suitable for aromatherapy jewellery – however in certain opal fields, like Andamooka in outback South Australia, you can find a special kind of opal called matrix or fairy opal.  

​

Fairy opal is named because small flecks of hard opal is found scattered through a host matrix rock.  The scattered opal can look like tiny bits of fairy glitter through the stone, and most exciting- shows up more when
the matrix is wet.  Normally opal cutters choose to highly polish or lacquer coat matrix opal to get maximum shine and opal colour, however we have discovered that if we polish the matrix just enough to get a hint of colour when dry, we retain the natural porousity of the host matrix – which allows the stone to absorb essential oil, creates a POP of colour and then slowly diffuses the aroma over several hours.
