What is an Opal?

Opal is a unique gemstone renowned for its play-of-color, an optical phenomenon where flashes of vibrant colors, such as red, green, blue, and yellow, shift across its surface when viewed from different angles. This effect is caused by the unique internal structure of Opal, which diffracts light into its spectral components. Opals can range from translucent to opaque, with varieties like white, black, and fire opals showcasing different characteristics. It is believed to inspire creativity, awaken intuition, and foster emotional clarity. Whether worn as jewelry or cherished as a collector's piece, Opal holds a timeless allure that connects us to the wonders of the natural world.

Composition: Hydrated silica.
Origin: Most Opals come from Australia, with notable deposits in Ethiopia and Mexico.

Seller's Story

Welcome to Angolo Vetusto Earth Stones, my name is Dalla Stella Federico. Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by gems and minerals, and by the search and discovery of their true nature. This passion eventually grew into a desire to make it my life and profession, leading me to study and become a professional lapidary, as well as an expert in minerals from around the world, with a special focus on Italian specimens. I am an expert lapidary, specializing in cutting and polishing hard stones such as Australian and Ethiopian opals, agates, quartzes, jaspers, and more. Ongoing study has led me and continues to lead me to create increasingly precise work, with great attention to the smallest details, in order to best enhance the natural beauty of each gem. I import high-quality minerals and raw gems from all over the world, to offer only the finest specimens to high-level collectors.
