No two opals are alike. The word ‘opal’ comes from the Greek word opallos, meaning “to see changes of color”, whereas the Roman name is from the Sanskrit word for precious stone upala. Opal is a precious gemstone. It is a formation of non-crystalline silica gel. Millions of years ago this silica gel seeped into crevices and cracks of the earth’s sedimentary strata. Through eons of time as well as nature’s heating and molding processes the gel hardens resulting in a brilliant opal.
