About Australian Crystal Opal
Australian crystal opal is a type of precious gemstone that is found in the mines of Lightning Ridge and other locations throughout Australia. It is characterised by its transparent or translucent body tone, which allows for a full display of its play of colour. Crystal opals are formed from silica gel that has seeped into crevices and cavities in ancient rocks, and then solidified over millions of years. The presence of various trace elements and impurities in the silica gel is what gives opals their unique colours, which can range from subtle to highly saturated. Australian crystal opals are particularly prized for their clarity and brilliance, which allows for a full display of their vibrant colours. They are often used in high-end jewellery designs and are considered a valuable addition to any gemstone collection. The most highly sought-after crystal opals feature a spectrum of colours that seem to dance across the surface of the gemstone, creating a truly mesmerising effect.
