Miss Opal may be a storybook character, but the gemstone that inspired her is very real.
Mississippi Opal is a precious, naturally occurring gemstone found in Mississippi. Inspired by its distinctive colors and fascinating geological story--as well as her own involvement in the effort to have it designated the state gemstone--author Jan Schaefer, APR, brought this unique treasure to life so Miss Opal could share her sparkle with the world.
With the help of Geologist James--a character inspired by a real Mississippi geologist--Miss Opal embarks on a journey that encourages children to explore the world beneath their feet and celebrate the qualities that make each of us unique.
In 2023, Mississippi Opal was officially designated the state gemstone, giving Mississippians of all ages another reason to dig, explore and dream about the remarkable treasures beneath their feet.
