What is a precious black opal? #australianopal #blackopal #lightningridge #opaljewelry

Opal is a natural gemstone formed over millions of years. It’s made of hydrated silica and is known for its unique “play-of-color” - that rainbow flash you see moving inside the stone. Each opal is completely unique, and fine opals can be very valuable. Opalite, on the other hand, is man-made glass. It’s created in a lab to have that soft, milky glow with blue or orange reflections. It’s beautiful, but it’s not a natural gemstone and doesn’t have the same structure, rarity, or value as real opal
