It is categorised into two main types: Precious Opal, which exhibits the phenomenal \"play-of-colour\" (iridescence) due to the diffraction of light through its internal structure of silica spheres, and Common Opal, which does not. The colour ranges from black, white, and grey to vivid reds, greens, and blues. It possesses a vitreous to waxy lustre. Australia is the world's primary source, and it is a popular and precious choice for all forms of jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eOpal is known as the \"Stone of Amplification and Hope.\" It is a highly sensitive stone that absorbs and reflects energy, including the wearer's thoughts and emotions, making it a powerful tool for inner work. It is believed to amplify traits and characteristics, bringing them to the surface for transformation and healing. Opal enhances cosmic consciousness, creativity, and spontaneity, and is a protective stone that aids in spiritual awareness and intuition.
