In their desire to avoid conflict, they will employ self-sacrifice. A Libra is a person who does their level best in all circumstances.
The gemstones for Libra bring healing, extra assistance in balancing and realization of
their dreams. Let’s start with opal, the ever-enticing and oh so mysterious gemstone that has carried its lore for centuries causing those who are not born in October to steer clear, when actually that was a ploy or rumor created by gem sellers to cut the success of the jewelers who had control of the opal market. Opals bring the full spectrum of light to the aura of the wearer, for a balancing effect. They protect the wearer, shielding from the downward pull of negative forces. Opal inspires creativity, love, loyalty and peace. All of which make a Libra feel whole. In short, opal is a Libran’s happy place.
