FACTS ABOUT oPALs.
How tho Stone wn< Brought Down from
Its High Estttc

Its High Estate.
No precious stone has had bettcr
experience of tho flckleness OF popular
favor than has the opal. In tho carly
days OF tho worlds history this gem was
priced above all others, and was looked
upon rs tho mbodiment OF every thing
that WAS lucky. A Roman dame priced
none OF her possessions so highly as her
opals, anu Fortunate, indeed, did she
consider herself il she happened to he
tho owner of more than ordinarily
beautiful specimen. Tho fair fame Of
tho opal remained untarniShcd trough
out tho Middle Ages: and two or threo
hundred years ago our ancestors showed
fondness for this beautiful stone
which rivalcd that displayed for it by
tho Romans. But by strange freak OF
fashion tho opal was brought down from
it's high estate. 1t is becoming popular
again now; but in tho earlier days of
tho century it was almost valueless, so
great was tho discrcdit which suporsti-
tious people had cast upon it.
This dislike to the opal has been Mt
tributed to tho Russians, for tho stone
IS so unpopular among the subjects OF
tho Gar that should one OF them hap
pen to dcscry an opal, nothing will in
ducc him or her to make any purchase
that day. There is n universal belief
among them that every kind Of bad
luck is sure to follow transaction en-
tered into on Il day upon which an opal
has been brought before their notice.
Tho reason for this antipathy IS that
hnisians regard this gem as tho ON
bod imrnt Of tho "evil cyc."
Sir Walter Scott must. to certain OK
tint. bc made responsible Tor tho bad
odor in which the opal has founl itself
OF late years. In "Annc OF Gcicrstrin''
he alludc' to the belief that the McXi-
can opal loses itS beauty when cxro. ed
tn The action OF watrr. and puts this
down To supernatural agency. Hence
arose the idea that To wear an opal is
the royal road to al! wanncr of i'll luck,
