Opal (multicolor)

Item Description

Opals are some of the most popular gems on the market. They quite diverse in terms of their appearance, as you will find stones of a single color, or gems that show every hue in the rainbow. Despite the rather simplistic chemistry (it's essentially Quartz + Water), Opals show a great range of color in many varieties. This gem is shows flashes of rich gold, yellow, green, blue, red, and orange set against a dark background. When this stone is strongly lit, it shows excellent color. Please note that this stone is a triplet, and is set against a backing to help allow the color to better show through.
