OPAL - A GEMSTONE OF LEGENDS AND LORE

Opal, derived from the Latin word "opalus," has a fascinating history that dates back thousands of years. It is a hydrated form of silica that is formed in areas where water has seeped into the ground and evaporated over time. Australia is renowned for producing some of the finest opals, while other significant deposits are found in Ethiopia, Mexico, and Brazil.

Symbolism and Folklore

Throughout history, opals have been associated with various beliefs and myths. In ancient times, opal was considered a symbol of purity and hope. It was believed to possess magical properties, including the ability to bring good fortune and protect against evil. Opal gems were also regarded as a stone of love and passion, often associated with loyalty and faithfulness.

OPAL'S UNIQUE PLAY OF COLORS

The mesmerizing beauty of opals lies in their play of colors, also known as "opalescence." This optical phenomenon displays a vibrant spectrum of hues that dance across the gemstone when light interacts with its internal structure. Opals can exhibit a wide range of colors, from fiery reds, oranges, and yellows to serene blues, greens, and violets. This remarkable play of colors makes each opal engagement ring a truly unique and captivating piece of jewelry.

Play-of-Color Spectrum

Opals are renowned for their captivating play of colors, which can range from fiery reds, oranges, and yellows to serene blues, greens, and violets. Opals that exhibit a vibrant and varied play of colors are generally highly sought after. The specific combination of colors and the intensity of the play-of-color can greatly influence the desirability of an opal.

Red and Orange

Opals that showcase fiery reds and vibrant oranges are particularly prized. These warm and intense hues can create a striking and eye-catching display of colors. The presence of dominant red and orange hues can greatly enhance the value and desirability of an opal.

Blue and Green

Opals with vivid blues and greens are also highly sought after. These cool and soothing colors can create a mesmerizing and ethereal appearance. Opals that display a strong presence of blue or green, especially with flashes or patterns of these colors, are often considered valuable and captivating.

Color Patterns

Opals with unique and interesting color patterns are also popular. Some opals may exhibit rolling flashes, which create a wave-like movement of colors across the stone. Others may display pinfire patterns, where small specks of color are distributed throughout the stone. Opals with color patterns that are aesthetically pleasing and dynamic can be highly desirable.

Pastel Colors

Opals with soft and delicate pastel colors, such as pinks, purples, and light blues, are also popular. These subtle and understated hues can create a romantic and feminine look. Pastel-colored opals are often appreciated for their gentle and ethereal beauty.

Black Opal

Black opal is a unique and precious gemstone known for its dark body tone, which can range from dark grey to jet black. This dark body tone enhances the vibrancy of the colors displayed within the opal, making it highly prized and valuable. For some people, black opal engagement rings look the best because of their unusual but eye-catching appeal.

Black opal engagement rings offer a mesmerizing play of colors, making them a distinctive choice for a memorable proposal.

The term "black opal" refers to any opal with a dark body tone, often black or dark gray. It can also refer to opals that have a dark blue or dark green body color. The dark coloration of black opal is attributed to fine particles in its composition, such as carbon and iron sulfides.

Australian black opals are considered the most valuable and widely recognized type of opal. They are also the rarest type of opal found and can fetch the highest price per carat compared to other types of opal.
