Opal
Opal is a unique gemstone known for its stunning play of color, where flashes of red, blue, green, and other hues shift in the light. This optical phenomenon makes opal highly prized. Historically, opal was valued by ancient cultures, including the Romans, who believed it symbolized purity and hope. Most of the world’s opal supply comes from Australia, with other sources in Ethiopia, Mexico, and the U.S. Opal is relatively soft, ranking 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it more delicate than many other gems. It is the birthstone for October and is often associated with creativity, protection, and emotional balance.
