The beauty of nature is perfectly preserved and showcased to us through opals. These gemstones are considered to be one of the most popular forms of jewellery in the world. The use of these precious stones can be traced as far back as 4000 BC.

Interestingly, the term opal is derived from the Latin word "opalus", which in literal translation means precious stone.

Opals do not have a clearly defined crystalline structure, which means it is amorphous, without getting technical. Opals are believed to be formed by wind and rain carrying silica and depositing it into the rock crevices.

Over millions of years, the water gets evaporated, and the hardened silica is turned into what we see today.

Majority of the opal mined around the world comes from Australia, with an estimated export of 95%.

The rest comes from countries like Mexico, Ethiopia, and Brazil. Opals are usually distinguished into two types: Common and Precious. A 'play of colour', which describes the multi-dimensional display of colour in opals, is exhibited or vibrant colours seen in precious opals.

What sets opals apart from the other gemstones and birthstones in the market is that every opal has its unique colour composition and characteristic traits. Opals can be found in most colours of the spectrum and often with a combination of a few shades. One of the rarest opals to be found is the black opals.
