    My mother had a beautiful opal drop (one of those teardrop-shaped
    glass pendants with opal chips floating inside). It was about an
    inch long and had 49 chips with lots of fire to them. She once told
    me that as opals were considered a bad luck stone, and seven was
    considered a lucky number, the pendant contained seven times seven
    opals, thus counteracting the bad luck   (At least that's what the
    jeweler told her.) I don't know how well that plays in the occult
    department, but it's a neat sales pitch. Dee
