Play-of-Color: Opal's most distinctive feature is its play-of-color, which can include hues of blue, green, red, orange, yellow, and purple. This phenomenon is caused by the diffraction of light as it passes through the silica spheres within the stone, creating flashes of color and patterns that seem to shimmer and change with movement.
-
Color Varieties: Opal occurs in a wide range of colors and patterns. Common varieties include white opal, black opal, fire opal, boulder opal, and crystal opal. Each variety has its own unique characteristics, such as body color, transparency, and play-of-color intensity.
-
Clarity: Opal may contain natural inclusions, known as "potch" or "matrix," which are remnants of the surrounding host rock. These inclusions are often accepted as part of the stone's natural beauty and can add to its unique character. Opals with high clarity and intense play-of-color are highly prized.
