      Opal is a rare and iridescent gemstone known for its play-of-color, the shifting rainbow hues seen across the surface when light hits the stone. This optical effect is created by microscopic silica spheres inside the gem.

      Opal value depends on several factors, including color saturation, pattern quality, body tone, clarity, origin, and carat weight. Black Opals from Lightning Ridge, Australia are considered the most valuable, often priced significantly higher due to their rarity and intensity.

Black Opals have the highest contrast and are the most prized for their dramatic appearance.
