Opal

Opal is a unique gemstone that displays a plethora of forms and colours, making each gemstone unique in its own way. It is highly popular due to its play of colour, or opalescence, that changes depending on the angle at which the stone is viewed. In fact, the finest opals can be more valuable than diamonds.
