Play-of-Color: Opal's most distinctive feature is its play-of-color, which is caused by the diffraction of light as it passes through the silica spheres within the stone. This phenomenon produces flashes of color, often in hues of blue, green, red, orange, and purple, creating a mesmerizing display reminiscent of fireworks or the aurora borealis.
-
Color Varieties: Opal occurs in a wide range of colors and patterns, including white opal, black opal, boulder opal, crystal opal, and fire 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.
