The great Opal is the talisman of the Plains tribe and is held in the fifth medallion of the Belt of Deltora.
Powers
It also can strengthen Opal dragons. Notably, the opal is the only gem on the Belt of Deltora Lief has actually avoided touching (for fear of its visions) and has done so more than once. It can give glimpses of the future and strengthen one's sight.
History
Creation
As foretold by the fortune telling stones of the Torans, fire and water "attacked" the land of dragons. The land gave a powerful stone as a gift to each of the tribes. The opal was the lands gift to the Plains tribe.
City of the Rats
The Opal was entrusted to the giant snake Reeah by the Shadow Lord. He wore the gem on his crown, and used its power to see into the future. This is how the snake knew Lief's name when the companions came serching for the gem. Upon obtaining it, the Opal showed Lief a vision of the Shifting Sands.
The Shifting Sands
The Opal helped Lief in obtaining the Lapis Lazuli from the Hive.
The Maze of the Beast
Lief had been trying to build up the courage to touch the Opal again, but was constantly afraid of what images he may receive. When he finally did, it gave him a glimpse of the Maze of the Beast.
The Sister of the South
Lief used the power of the Opal to heal Barda after he'd been blinded by the Sister of the South. While doing so, the Opal showed him a vision of a dead landscape. At first everyone believed this to be the Shadowlands, but Lief later suspected it was Deltora after the Grey Tide was unleashed.
Anime
The only major difference in the anime was the second time Lief used it. Here, it was after the companions retrieved the Amethyst, rather than before. Lief touched the gem while sleeping, and was given a vision of Barda and Jasmine giving their lives willingly for him. This later came true when the three were trapped in the sorceress Thaegan's Mirror of Fear.
