That is almost what happened to the Roman Emperor, Marc Anthony who loved them so much he sought them for the love of his life Cleopatra and as you can imagine the Romans valued Opals above all gemstones.

In the Middle Ages it was believed that Opals brought good luck as they had all the powers of all of the gemstone colors represented within it.  Source: Wikipedia
