Opal Earrings

Opal – There are two broad classes of opal: precious and common. Precious opal displays iridescence, common opal does not. “Opal Description”. Gemological Institute of America. Retrieved 4 June 2018. The internal structure of precious opal causes it to diffract light, resulting in iridescence. Depending on the conditions in which it formed, opal may be transparent, translucent or opaque and the background color may be white, black or nearly any color of the visual spectrum. Black opal is considered to be the rarest, whereas white, gray and green are the most common
