About the Item

Loose Opal Cabochon Weight: 14.00 Carats Dimension: 17.5 x 15.6 x 11 Mm Origin: Ethiopia Treatment: Non Certificate: On Customer Demand Opal is a mesmerizing gemstone celebrated for its vibrant play-of-color, where shifting hues of the rainbow dance across its surface. This unique optical effect, known as “opalescence,” is caused by microscopic silica spheres within the stone, which diffract light into spectral colors. Found primarily in Australia, Ethiopia, and Mexico, opals come in a variety of types, including black opals (the most valuable), white opals, fire opals, and boulder opals. The gemstone holds cultural and historical significance, often associated with creativity, hope, and emotional healing. Ancient Romans admired opals as symbols of love and purity, while medieval Europeans believed they brought good fortune and protected against disease. Opals have a relatively low hardness of 5.5-6.5 on the Mohs scale, making them more delicate than many other gemstones. They require careful handling and are often set in protective jewelry designs to prevent damage. Their captivating beauty and spiritual allure make opals a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts. Whether worn as a statement piece or cherished for their metaphysical properties, opals remain one of nature’s most enchanting treasures, celebrated for their ever-changing beauty and ability to captivate the imagination.
