Horus was worshiped all over Egypt in many different forms, as sky god, sun god, god of kingship and as son of Isis.
In the "Contendings of Horus and Set", the myth which tells about the fight between these two gods for the rulership of Egypt, Set injures the eyes of Horus. They are healed by Hathor who uses gazelle´s milk on them. The healed eyes became the symbol for perfection, called the 'Wedjat' or 'Udjat' Eye and are spoken of in singular.
Amulets in the form of eyes were used as a sign of protection and were worn around the neck or placed in mummy wrappings. Besides protection, they can stand for various things: the strength of the King, for kingship, for protection against Set, and others.

The History of Ancient Egypt spans the period from the early predynastic settlements of the northern Nile Valley to the Roman conquest in 30 BC. The Pharaonic Period is dated from around 3150 BC, when Lower and Upper Egypt became a unified state, until the country fell under Greek rule in 332 BC.

Egypt's history is split into several different periods according to the dynasty of the ruling of each pharaoh. The dating of events is still a subject of research. The conservative dates are not supported by any reliable absolute date for a span of about three millennia. The following is the list according to conventional Egyptian chronology.

Opal Plus started selling Opals in Perth, Western Australia in 1990. At that time my brother Paul was mining Black Opal in Lightning Ridge, NSW, Australia. He would send the rough Opal to Perth and we would cut, polish and sell the finished stones. In 1992 we moved to the Gold Coast, Queensland and set up set an Opal cutting factory rubbing, cutting and polishing on average 120 Black Opals per day. At this time we had a number of partnerships and Opal mining ventures and a good source of Opal rough material. We sold Opals in Australia and New Zealand as well as at the Tuscon Gem Shows in America and gem shows in Japan. In 1995 Estella started creating jewellery and we started selling Opal jewelry also around Australia to complement our Opal sales. After selling some Opals on the internet we founded Opal Auctions.com so we could share our passion for Opals with people from all over the world.
