The Opal is a fine example of showcasing nature’s infinite capacity to generate the WOW factor. The Opal stone is an amazing visual treat with brilliant colors in all hues visible in the single stone. In fact is the only gem in which all the visible colors of the spectrum can be seen. The Opal is mainly composed of Silica with about 3-10 per cent of water content. Opals formed millions of years ago when silica gel trapped between layers of host rock got hardened.
