Opals are one of nature’s most beautiful gems, delighting the senses in a dazzling array of colours and patterns.
Many millions of years ago, cataclysmic changes within the earth forged this unique, rare gem. Often referred to as Australia’s National Gem, 95% of the world’s Opal supply is produced in Australia.
Opal colour variations are practically limitless. Opal may be divided into the categories of black / dark, light, boulder and matrix. The classification of black / dark and light is determined by the body tone. i.e. the degree of darkness in the background.
