We have possibly heard that the Opal is mined as boulders of stones when processed, they display a gorgeous range of colours. The word Opal comes from the Sanskrit word ‘Upala’ which later found its way into ancient Roman and Greek regions.

In Opals the most commonly found types are ‘Precious’ and ‘Common’. The Precious Opal stones come in a riot of colours. Sometimes they shine of various colours with the play of light. The common Opals do not display the same brilliance when it comes to colour display. Common Opals usually come in one colour. In India these are sold pretty much in just White Colour. Needless to say that Precious Opals that display various colours are on the expensive side. Depending on the colours, weight and size they could run into several thousand dollars.

Diamonds come pretty much in one or two colours. A majority of Diamonds look like just plain coloured shining crystals. However, Opals on the other hand display the sheen and colours of Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and various other precious stones. It’s like having the best of all the precious stone worlds in one package.

The look of the colours that shine through are so unique in the Opals, that no other precious stone can match the versatility of the Opal stones in the whole wide world. Added to this, the Opal stones are mined in a handful of mines of the world. This adds to the rarity of the stones.

It needs a keen eye to curate some of the best and colourful Opals from the already rare Opals in terms of availability.
