Types of opal

1. TYPESOF OPAL
Opal is a magical attractive gemstone. Although diamonds and other gemstones do not
have that aesthetic appeal.Even if you watch the color game of opal stone for hours, you will
not be satisfied. The scattering of colors on each side is different. I think this is the first time I
saw it. These color flashes are called opacity and can be numerous or less and vary in size
and type. These colors determine the value of an opal.Opal is a mysterious gemstone found
mainly in Australia. However, in Brazil in South America,Opal gemstones are found in
Ethiopia and Mali in Africa and in Mexico, USA in North America. But other stones like the
Australian opal are not so attractive and desirable. For this reason, Australia supplies 95% of
the world's total demand.Opal ring is the first and foremost Australian stone for this.
Those who do not have a very good idea about opal. Those who cannot easily distinguish
between real wapals and fake opals by going to the market need to know that opals are
divided into two main groups: precious Australian opals and common opals. Those that
display characteristic play of color are known as valuable opals, while those that lack - single
color patterns - are known as ordinary opals.Gems used for jewelry can be cut from both
ordinary and precious. Both precious and ordinary opals come in different forms and
variations.
The most coveted of all is the black opal.Black opal is the most rare and highly valued form
of opal, So black opal is very valuable. A black, dark blue or dark green is the main
background color, matching a play of colors. The second most popular precious opal is
white, which is white, cream or yellow in color and with a strong internal play of color. The
most valuable common opal is the so-called Mexican fire opal, which is a common almost
transparent opal in orange red color."Ordinary opals," sometimes known as "patches," are
different types of opals that do not display the flash and "play-off-color" seen in precious
opals. However, common opal occurs in a variety of beautiful colors including a range of
wonderful pastels. Ordinary opal is available in a wider range of colors than other gems.The
common opal is usually opaque to transparent and brown to orange, but it can come in any
color, some of which are quite interesting.Depending on the conditions under which it
occurs, the opal can be transparent, translucent or opaque, and the background color can be
white, black or almost any color of the visual spectrum. Black opals are considered rare,
where white, gray and green are the most common.Opals are used in jewelry and can be cut
into thin pieces that are placed on a matrix material. Gems made in this way are much
cheaper than a solid precious opal and it is a way to achieve the same display of color as a
solid precious opal. Opal is a relatively soft stone, so a coating made of quartz is sometimes
used in jewelry to avoid scratches.Stones in various types of jewelry ranging from necklaces,
pendants and earrings. There are stones and jewelry for all budgets.
