High Bodied White Butterfly Discus
$63.00 – $175.00
The historical significance and symbolism surrounding the opal gemstone is vast. It was rumored to cure diseases of the eye or, when wrapped in a bay leaf, provide a shroud of invisibility for those who carried the stone. Sought after by Queen Victoria, discovered in the tomb of Mark Antony, and gifted to Empress Josephine, true love of Napoleon Bonaparte, the opal has long been associated with royalty, power and magic.
Roman naturalist and philosopher Pliny the Elder spoke of the opal having “the living fire of ruby, the glorious purple of the amethyst, the sea-green of the emerald, all glittering together in an incredible mixture of light.”
The High Body White Butterfly Discus, like moonlight reflected in the sea, exhibits all the regal mystery of the opal itself–magical and otherworldly. Greeks believed opal to provide visions of the future and protection from illness, while Bedouins thought them to be lightning delivered from heaven. While mythology can be debated, the beauty of this Discus, an opalescent vision of light, simply cannot.

The fish are doing great they are high body and they are beautiful they're a little smaller than I expected I know they cost more so that's okay if they're little smaller but they're eating and happy and I'm happy thank you very much.
