About Opal Gemstones
Precious opals captivate with their vibrant play of colours on either a pale (white opal) or dark (black opal) background. Certain white opals exhibit a translucent, milky appearance, which is referred to as opalescence, distinct from their play of colours.
Opal Treatments
Opals can undergo a variety of treatments, such as staining and resin impregnation, to enhance their visual appeal. Composite stones like doublets and triplets can be created from multiple pieces as well.
Opal Testing Techniques
Differentiating natural opals from synthetic ones can be achieved through methods like observation, refractometers, UV light, and specific gravity testing.
Opal Symbolism and Properties
As an October birthstone and zodiac gemstone for Libra, opal carries significant historical and symbolic connotations. Ancient Greeks believed opals conferred the powers of foresight and prophecy, while Romans regarded opals as symbols of purity and hope. With a hardness of 6, opals are among the softer and more delicate gemstones available.
