what is Opal?

Opal is a gemstone known for its unique play of colors. It is a hydrated amorphous form of silica, which means it is made up of small silica spheres closely packed together. When light passes through these spheres, it diffracts and creates a beautiful display of colors that can range from reds and oranges to blues and greens.

Opal is found in various places around the world, including Australia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Mexico and the United States. It is known for its delicacy, as it is a relatively soft stone and can easily scratch or crack if not handled properly.

Opal is often used in jewelry, and its unique play of colors makes it a popular choice for engagement rings and other special occasion pieces. It is also attributed with healing properties and is often used in alternative medicine practices.

Examples of opal types include black opal, rock opal, crystal opal and fire opal. Black opal is known for its dark hue and brilliant flashes of color, while boulder opal is found in ironstone and has a natural host rock matrix. Crystalline opal is transparent and has a high degree of chromatic play, while fire opal is known for its bright orange, red and yellow colors.
