FolkLoreANDEAN OPAL has been used to open the heart chakra. It has been used to protect a person during spiritual journies. It can aid in the knowledge of what is the "right action" to take in a given situation. It helps to calm so that one takes "right action", rather than to simply "react" to a given situation.
