Natural opals, an alluring semi-precious stone, can be opaque to translucent in color and are known for their kaleidoscopic iridescence known as their play-of-color, or fire. Opals are hydrated silica mineraloids, containing up to 20% water in their structure. Although most commonly known for a white base, Opals can come in varied colors such as black or orange. Many histories revere opals as symbols of hope, purity, and symbols of protection.

Opal is a 5-6 on the Mohs scale of hardness, and it is a porous stone. Avoid harsh chemicals, avoid cleaning in an ultrasonic and opt for warm water and mild soap instead, and store separately from other jewelry to avoid nicks and scratches to the surface.

Opal is traditionally known as October’s birthstone.
