Opal (multicolor)

Item Description

Despite the rather simplistic chemistry of Opal, the stones show a great range of color in many varieties. You'll find stones that range from completely opaque to transparent, and some show vivid flashes of every color of the rainbow. It makes sense because it's the water content in Opal that gives it the multi-color appearance, just the water refracting light in a rainbow. The Opals from Australia are some of the most well known and VIVID Opals in the world. This stone has a great mix of colors including green, yellow, gold, orange and red. This stone is a doublet which means it is set against a stone backing to better show off the play of color. Priced at $885.00 high retail.
