White opal

Opal is one of the most sought-after and extraordinary gemstones in the world, known above all for its intense play of colour. Many cultures attribute a supernatural origin and powers to opal. Pure magic.

This multicoloured play of colour is called opalescence. It is caused by the microscopic structure of opal, which refracts and scatters light as it passes through the stone. The colours range from soft pastels to bright, vivid hues, depending on the type of opal and the angle of the light.
