Description from the seller

Ring of Australian Opal / new

Set in 925 sterling silver

Weight: 2.02 g

6.3 mm x 6.2 mm

New and unworn

Ring size:

U 59
UK R
US 8.7
Fr 19
Inner diameter: 18.8 mm

The opal is a mineral from the mineral class of “oxides and hydroxides.” As an amorphous solid, opal (like glass) has no crystal structure and typically appears as a massive vein filling or nodular formation.

Opals are exclusively processed into gemstones for jewelry.

The word opal was borrowed from the Latin opalus or the Greek ὀπάλλιος opallios for ‘precious stone’ and probably traces back to upala in Sanskrit. According to Allan W. Eckert in his work The World of Opals, this term referred to various rocks, while the early Magyars called opal mines opálbánya.

Opals were already regarded as particularly valuable gemstones in antiquity, sometimes even valued higher than diamonds. Pliny the Elder wrote about it: “[…] it has a fire akin to that of Carbunculus, the purplish spark of amethyst, the sea-green of emerald, and an utterly incredible mix of light”
