Opal Gemmology Facts:

Opal has fascinated humans for millennia, and its allure continues to captivate collectors and jewellery designers today. With origins dating back over 4,000 years, it was famously favoured by historical figures like Cleopatra and Napoleon’s Josephine.

Most of the world’s finest Opals are mined in Australia, though other sources include Brazil and Ethiopia. Opal’s signature “play of colour” is caused by light diffracting through its tiny, perfectly stacked silica spheres, a unique trait that sets it apart from other Gemstones. The larger the spheres, the more vibrant the flashes of red and orange, making these the most valuable colours in Opal grading.

Opal is an idiochromatic Gem, meaning its colour is integral to its structure rather than the result of impurities. This gives the Gemstone its captivating spectrum of hues, from soft pastels to fiery reds and oranges.

Believed to enhance originality and confidence, this Gem’s energy is said to stimulate the imagination and bring a sense of calmness to the wearer.
