The name opal is believed to derive from the Sanskrit "upala", which means precious stone, as well as the Greek "opallios". Historically, opals were very rare and highly prized as a result. Napoleon I presented a fabulous opal called The Burning of Troy to Josephine, the first opal to be named. Elizabeth II received the Andalooka Opal, known as The Queen's Opal on her state visit to Australia. In the Middle Ages, opal were considered powerful talismans due to their color spectrum- they were believed to possess the virtue of every gemstone whose color was represented in the opal.
