Browse Our African Opal, Mexican Fire Opal, Australian Opal and Peruvian Opal Bead Collections
Whether you’re talking about an Australian Opal or a Peruvian Opal Bead, a Fire opal or a Common Opal, all opals share certain characteristics. Latin for the term Precious Stone, Opal—despite its dehydration, softness, cracking and heat sensitive properties—is a valuable stone that is comprised of layers of precipitated silica spheres. The order of the layering often produces a rainbow sparkling effect.
Laboratories can now produce opals that are very similar to those found in nature. Common Opal, Precious Opal and Fire Opal are the three types of opals that exist.
