Superstition and
The Opal Seem to
Be Inseparable
BY Garrett p. Serviss.

If 1t were as easy 20 Danish super
stition as il is 10 show its ground
lessness there would be none left in
the world But then many would be
disseminated. because there are
thousands even Of educated per-
sons who feel a delicious thrill in
bowling 10 a superstition. Not every
body wants to have all mysteries
cleared up. and the undercurrent of
belief in magic Is astonishingly
strong in human nature.
Many a man and woman has
brayed superstition and started to
ride it down. only TO shrink back in
terror from the audacity of the at
tempt A few years ago il was said
that the opal had passed out from
under the cloud that has hung over
il from time immemorial but the
shadow seems TO be there still.
1t is easy to find the reason in the
peculiarities Of the stone. A no

OF an opal, or its temporary loss of
fire, coincide with some misfortune

demise or that of a member of his
family, and you have all that Is

touches. for. as Lord Bacon said:
" In all superstition wise men follow
fools, and arguments are fitted to

threatening. cOiling their rainbow
fires in mazes of marvellous beauty
under the play of light on their sur
faces. but capricious and not al
ways disposed TO strike. So many
who supers titiously fear opals take
chance and wear them for their
irresistible beauty.
Something of the charm goes out
when the plain facts are mentioned.
The opal is a hydrated variety of
SILICA. in an amorphous, or non
crystalline state" In other words
it is a kind of quartz containing
little water sometimes as much as
II per cent? in its composition, and
never assuming the crystalline
form. 1t is softer and lighter than
quartz.
Unlike quartz also, it is soluble
in a hot water alkaline solution,
such as caustic potash. Perhaps the
presence of water in its compost
ton accounts, in part at least. for
its peculiarities, because when an
opal is strongly heated its brilliancy
fades. But sometimes a slight heat
ing improves its beauty. Opals are
said to be affected by changes of
climate.
