Opal var. Menilite | Galera, Granada, Andalusia, Spain

 Menilite is a greyish-brown form of opal. It is also known as “liver opal” or "Leberopal" (German), due to its color. It is called menilite because it was first described from Ménilmontant (Paris), France, where it occurs as concretions within bituminous early oligocene menilite shales. The specimen features strange stalactitic and "flown" forms, like wax, which run out from a candle.

At first glance, these looked a little like freehand meringue cookies to me. But! They are, in fact, “Fairy Stones” aka, Menilite Opals from Morocco, and are composed of calcium carbonate. They are formed when there is an accumulation of seafloor sedimentary mud rock, mineral accretions, and fossilized crystal deposits of plant and animal remains in areas of ancient glacial deposits.Overflowing with Devine Feminine Energy, they are also sometimes called Goddess Stones, and the soft, smooth and perfect for holding comfortably in your hand stones are said to be excellent for meditation and energetically providing grounding, acceptance, flexibility, generosity and increases tolerance for self and others.
