The Colors, Shapes and Locations of Opal

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 15, 2009 – Opal occurs in an amazing variety of colors including white, black, yellow, orange, brown and red. Red is one of the more popular Opal colors. There are usually two types of red colors, cherry red and fire red. Fire red is usually the most popular and possibly the most expensive due to its wonderful hue.
Opals are mined in larger sizes, so they can easily be cut and sized to fit almost any type of rings. Other types of jewelry that Opal works well with are bracelets, necklaces, brooches, earrings and even figurines and statuettes.
Opal is found in most regions of the world, however precious gemstone Opal is usually found only in Southern Australia. More than 90% of the world's quality gem opals come from Southern Australia, although it can be found in other parts of the world such as Brazil, Mexico, Czechoslovakia, Nevada and Idaho. All black opals come exclusively from Australia.
It is believed that opal carries both the sun and moon's energy. It is basically a moon's stone or female energy but has its flash of male energy in the iridescent colors and carries the sun's energy. These flashes encourage intuition and insight. These flashes also represent an "inner fire" that gently stimulates you towards the Spiritual realms.
Opal is a "living" stone, which means it must be protected from heat and detergents that "dry" the gem. Hence, take off opal jewelry before doing household tasks. Opals develop crazing if they are allowed to dry out. Heat treatment is catastrophic!! In addition to cracking, loss of water causes loss of iridescence.
To clean opal, simply wipe it with a clean, soft dry cloth such as silk or cotton. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, chemicals, or toothpaste when cleaning opal jewelry. Generally you do not want to immerse opal jewelry in water.
