GREEK SPIRAL - MINOANS & OPAL

The spiral as a symbol is found all over the world and has meanings in many different cultures and belief systems. For the ancient Minoans of Knossos, Greece, the spiral was a symbol of infinity–it just kept going! It is a symbol of constant motion, of balance, and of awareness. The Minoans understood this symbol and found an ancient meaning which they incorporated into their culture.

In Greek mythology, opals were considered the stone form of the tears that Zeus wept after the defeat of the titans.

For much of its long history, opal was regarded as a lucky stone that enhances inspiration, creativity and memory. Furthermore, a cut and polished opal would have the qualities of any other stone it shared a colour with - a blue opal would be similar to sapphire for example.
