In Scott's novel, the Baroness of Arnheim wears an opal talisman with supernatural powers. When a drop of holy water falls on the talisman, the opal turns into a colorless stone and the Baroness dies soon thereafter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the popularity of Scott's novel, people began to associate opals with bad luck and death. Within a year of the publishing of Scott's novel in April 1829, the sale of opals in Europe dropped by 50%, and remained low for the next 20 years or so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor may vary in images and videos due to different lightings and angles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tarazed Gems \u0026 Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48387276734709,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8274\/2261\/files\/Opal-Doublet-Necklace-With-Chain-Tarazed-Gems-_-Jewellery-1665040965.jpg?v=1783532991","url":"https:\/\/nortrano.com\/products\/opal-doublet-necklace-with-chain-1","provider":"nortrano","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
