Opals have been valued and treasured throughout history due to their iridescent, glowing and color flashing qualities. Highly prized for their varieties of unique properties and color dispersion. They represent an artistic beauty that is unmatched by other gemstones, it is the national gemstone of Australia and also found in a narrow gorge as recently as the 1990’s in Ethiopia. Opals are a great investment stone and contrary to superstition they are not symbolic of bad luck. Opals are a rare work of art, a natural creation by our almighty gifted to mankind for our enjoyment. When shopping retail establishments you usually won’t find a large selection of natural opals because they cannot mark them up and have continuity in mass production of Opal jewelry for the masses. You care for your Opals like any other fine gemstone, no exposure to chemicals and high heat.
