Greetings SUA! To celebrate the beginning of October, we are very pleased to present our new GOTM. I know we’re all ready to tackle the scariest (arguably the best) month of them all, so in celebration, let’s give a hand to our wonderful lady, Opal!

You heard it, folks! This month is all about Opal.

With each twist and turn that Steven Universe presents to us, I think we all agree that we need to step back for a second and appreciate some old favorites.

Happy Halloween and Month Of Opal everyone!

Show Facts

:cherry_blossom: She made her debut in the episode "Giant Woman", being the fusion between Pearl and Amethyst.

:cherry_blossom: Opal's appearance consists more of Pearl's physical appearance and features.

:cherry_blossom: Opal appears to be almost twice the size of Garnet. It should be noted that in all her appearances Opal seems to stand on her tiptoes, increasing her height.

:cherry_blossom: Opal is the first known fusion (Garnet was not known as a fusion before the episode “Jail Break").

:cherry_blossom: Pearl refers to Opal as an "amalgam". This is also the name of Opal's fusion dance theme.

:cherry_blossom: In the "Guide to the Crystal Gems", Garnet confirms that Pearl and Amethyst create a perfect balance when they form Opal but can easily break apart if either of them loses concentration for a moment.

:cherry_blossom: When Opal's arrow bubbled the Gem Shards from the Big Bird, her bubbles were colored mint-green.

:cherry_blossom: Excluding Rainbow Quartz, Opal has the least spoken lines out of any Crystal Gem fusion, having only five lines. This is most likely due to Pearl's expressivity and Amethyst's shyness coagulating into a silent-type personality.

Gemstone Facts

:gem: Metaphysically opal symbolises purity and hope. It has been regarded as a protective stone, as it keeps the wearer from harm.

:gem: Opal has been found on Mars! It is one of only a handful of gemstones that have ever been discovered outside of our planet (the other gemstone being Peridot that’s found from outer space).

:gem: It is estimated that nearly 95% of the world’s opal comes from Australia. Other popular countries that mine opals include Ethiopia, Brazil, and Mexico.

:gem: There are two main classifications of opal: precious and common. Within the precious opal family, there are many different varieties of opal, each with their own unique color combinations and character traits.

:gem: Opals rank 5.5 to 6.5 out of 10 on Mohs Scale of Hardness. They are certainly more fragile than the other birthstones but should hold up well with the proper care.
