The Australian Opals are the gemstones which are multi-coloured and contain small spheres of silica organized in a regular pattern with water between the spheres. The sphere disperses white light breaking it into various colors of the spectrum. They are mostly included in the jewelery paired up with different kinds of other stones such as rubies, diamonds, and emeralds.
The sphere of opal in Australia comes in all kind of colors which makes it a unique stone as it shows the rainbow-like colors. The process of diffraction of white light in various spectrums is known as “opalescence”. When there is a larger sphere, it provides all kind of colors but the smaller sphere is mostly having blues and greens. Stones which are red in color are a rare phenomenon as it only occurs when larger silica is deposited.
The different color of this stone shows a different kind of properties. The white stones are delicate and come across as pale in lighter background. The Black stones which are rare and valuable have a dark background and its color ranges from rich reds to greens, purples, and blues. The Boulder ones are cut with a natural host rock and ironstone on a back.
The process has gone through the stage of mining and processing which is later either hand sorted or mechanically washed and screened to discreet the hard material. Later on, they are visually assessed and separated as per the size and color.
They have various types which are marketed overseas at a large scale.
