Blue Opal (Palmstones)

Palmstones:
Palmstones cover a wide variety of categories: Thumb stones, worry stones, gallets, palm stones and touch stones. Thumb/worry stones are smaller in size and sometimes have an indent on one side to place your thumb. Palm stones are equal in size and proportion, they can be circular or oval shaped and easily fit into an average size palm. Gallets are bigger in size, usually bigger and chunky and less carved, they stay true to their raw form to a large extent. Touch stones are extra large palm stones, almost the size of a free form.
Uses:
palm stones can be held during meditation or divinatory practices.
Palm stones can be an effective fidgeting device during stress bouts that may calm you down and ground you.
Palm stones can be carried in your pocket or purse to attract luck or for protection.
Palmstones can also be kept in the pillowcase to aid in lucid dreaming, to sleep peacefully especially for insomniacs.

Blue Opal:
Blue Opal caters to the Throat chakra which is the seat of higher creativity and hence supports sales executives, singers, painters, miniature artists, writers and those whose profession requires an attention to details. This is a calming stone that stimulates the intellect and brings clarity of mind, speech and expression. The vivid blue colour of blue Opal with occasional white and dark bands connects it to the subtle planes and can help one understand abstract thoughts and ideas. Blue Opal helps heal any issues with the throat, the respiratory organs and the mind and helps alleviate stress, insomnia and fatigue.
