page 12  Since the hill/tower Opel doesn't seem to be the subject to give a title to "Opel" either, let's take a step backward and think about Opal as a gemstone, because it's a fact that, in the same way as "Ophel" can be spelt "Opel", the gemstone can be spelt as "Opel", especially if the context is Indian: Opel Stone, the precious stone also famed as "Queen of Gems" is a delicate stone in India. — www.preciousstone.in The Opel Gemstone is said to be many things including the most powerful of healing stones, the stone of hope, the stone of great achievement and even the "stone of the Gods". — www.in.all.biz The question is why Syd would have used the Indian spelling. In the next chapter we will see how an Indian context could make sense. Now some information about the gemstone is worth reading. Six-thousand-year-old artifacts found by Louis Leakey are the earliest known use of opal. Ancient Greeks and Romans prized the use of opal and its value was greater than diamond. The Romans nicknamed it "Cupid's stone" because its color can be evocative of a sensuous complexion. The Aztecs also used and valued opals. … Opal has been called the "stone of visionaries". The Greeks believed that it had powers of prophecy. The Romans saw it as a symbol of hope. Opal attracts inspiration, insight, and stimulates a wider vision. Some believe it enhances clairvoyant abilities. — Sandra Kynes, Gemstone Feng Shui
