Opal is a mineral from the mineral class of the “Oxides and Hydroxides.” As an amorphous solid, opal (like glass) has no crystal structure and typically appears as a massive vein-filling or nodular form.
Opals are processed exclusively into gemstones.
The word Opal was borrowed from the Latin opalus or the Greek ὀπάλλιος opallios for ‘precious stone’ and presumably goes 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 this: “[…] there is a fire belonging to it, refined as in carbunculus, it possesses the purplish spark of the amethyst and the sea-green of the emerald and an altogether incredible play of light.”
