Detail & Occurrence:
The name *opal* likely derives from the Sanskrit word *upala* (उपल), meaning ‘jewel’, and later from the Greek derivative *opállios* (ὀπάλλιος).
Opals can be transparent, translucent, or opaque depending on the conditions in which they formed. Their background color may range across the visual spectrum, with black opal being the rarest and white, gray, and green opals being the most common.
There are two broad classes of opal: precious and common. Precious opal displays play-of-color (iridescence), while common opal does not.
“Certain minerals, when turned in white light, produce a pseudo chromatic optical effect resulting in flashes of colored light known as play-of-color.”
” Moreover, the internal structure of precious opal causes it to diffract light, resulting in play-of-color.
Other significant deposits of precious opal around the world. You can find it in the Czech Republic, Canada, Slovakia, and Hungary. Turkey, Indonesia, Brazil (in Pedro II, Piauí), Honduras (more precisely in Erandique), Guatemala, and Nicaragua also source of opal.
