I love all the colors in opals, too. Is your aunty published?--not that that's required to be a Writer. Awww, on the Elvish gemstone. (-: Yeah, wearing a ring replica when not on quest is creepy.
Through my 20's and into my 30's I had one necklace I wore everyday--a lovely woman's face in the moon--my goddess necklace. I felt a need to wear it every day, which was sometimes a drag if I wanted to wear something else. I was finally able to put it into semi-retirement, and so wear amethyst, moonstone, or amber necklaces when I choose. Probably my favorites, though, are diacronic glass--human-made for going to the moon, but gorgeous as a byproduct.
I'm agnostic, and don't know if there's reward beyond, but the alternative is not trying at all, and I guess my Jewishness reaches for tikkun elam--add healing to the earth, when you can (don't stress when you can't), since you benefit from the healing others gave before you. Someone may stumble upon it and add more. That someone may take it and use it to do harm is not something you can control, and you should not strive for control by not acting, for inaction is sure to benefit no one (said by one too prone to brooding). Heee, my philosophy in a nutshell, where it belongs.
