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. What is a doublet? A Lightning Ridge opal doublet is a composite gemstone made by layering a thin slice of natural opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia, onto a dark backing material (often ironstone or black potch). This enhances the opal’s play of color, making it appear more vivid and vibrant. Doublets are commonly used in jewelry as a more affordable alternative to solid black opals, while still showcasing the stunning beauty of Lightning Ridge natural material.
