  • How do they form and get those colors?

  • Precious opal is a natural kind of glass without any colour. It is made of microscopic beads of silicate ( mineral component of sand and sandstone) layers of various sizes and with a microscopic content of water between the beads and the light is diffracted (instead of reflected or refracted) which means that the light is coming back out in different waves of the light spectrum that entered in the first place.

  • This is why, depending on the kind of the opal is under( natural sun lght, in the shade, neon light etc..) the opal will present different colours.

  • The sizes and arrangement of the silicate beads will affect how the light is diffracted. This is why only part or the full spectrum will show. This type of opal is found in sandstone which is a sedimentary rock that formed in an Australian ancient inland sea that dried out millions of years ago
