About Opal Gemstones
Precious opals are renowned for their striking play of colours against a pale (white opal) or dark (black opal) background. White opals can exhibit a translucent, milky appearance, referred to as opalescence, separate from their play of colours.
Opal Treatments
Opals can undergo various treatments, such as staining and resin impregnation, to enhance their visual appeal. Composite stones like doublets and triplets can also be created from multiple pieces.
Methods for Opal Testing
Utilizing techniques like observation, refractometers, UV light, and specific gravity testing can help differentiate natural opals from synthetic ones.
Opal Symbolism and Characteristics
Opal is an October birthstone and a zodiac gemstone for Libra, carrying rich historical and symbolic associations. The ancient Greeks believed opals granted the powers of foresight and prophecy, while the Romans saw opals as symbols of purity and hope. With a hardness of 6, opals are among the softer and more delicate gemstones available.
