This is a  rare P M Paris Signed Modernist Brooch glistening with carious shapes and sizes of Australian opals and smokey quartz. What a head turner!  

Opal is most known for its ability to bring one’s traits and characteristics to the surface for examination and transformation. Just as Opal absorbs and reflects light, it picks up thoughts and feelings, desires and buried emotions, amplifying them and returning them to the source. While magnifying one’s negative attributes may prove to be uncomfortable, it allows for understanding how destructive these emotions can be and assists the process of letting them go. Opal also illuminates the positive actions and emotions of the self, enhancing the good and true, and fostering one’s highest potential. . 

Smoky Quartz is the national gem of Scotland, a country with the longest historical association with the stone. Emotionally, smoky quartz is excellent for elevating moods, overcoming negative emotions, and relieving depression. It relieves stress, fear, jealousy, anger and other negative emotions by transforming them into positive energies. It is a helpful stone for enhancing and encouraging courage and inner strength. Smoky quartz is very comforting and calming, and can be considered a stone of serenity.
