Opal

On this page you will find quality cut Opal. All stones are cut to precise angles for maximum brilliance and polished to a mirror finish. Fire opal breaks all the rules for opal. Opal is a gem valued for its play of color, the shifting colors from within it's depth. Body color is only a backdrop for the main attraction. But the color of fire opal is hard to ignore: hot yellows, oranges and reds so bright they look as though they might glow in the dark. Fire opal sometimes does have play of color but it does not need this to take a starring role in jewelry. All opal is relatively soft,(hardness 5.5-6.5) and should be in a protective mounting if set in a ring.
