Opal is a mesmerizing gemstone known for its play-of-color, a vibrant display of rainbow hues that makes each stone unique. Often called the gem that contains all gems, opals come in many varieties. Learn how to pick the best opal for you:

COLOR: Black opals are the most valuable, with their dark bodycolor enhancing their play-of-color. Crystal opals (transparent), fire opals (vivid orange to red) and white opals are also prized. The brightness, pattern and range of color of the stone’s play-of-color significantly affect value.
CLARITY: Opals should not have eye-visible inclusions. The only exception is boulder opals, which are still attached to their natural host rock (matrix), and are appreciated for their natural character. Transparency can add value, especially in crystal and fire opals.
CUTTING STYLE: Most opals are cut as oval cabochons to showcase their color. Rarer varieties may be polished into freeform shapes to retain carat weight. Faceted cuts are less common.
CARAT WEIGHT: White opals are more commonly found in larger sizes. In contrast, large black opals are rare and highly collectible. One of the largest known opals is “The Fire of Australia”*—*an uncut white opal weighing nearly 5,000 carats.

Opals are known for their captivating play-of-color, but they require special care to protect their beauty.

- Clean gently: Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, which can damage opal. Instead, clean opal jewelry with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Avoid heat, dry conditions & chemicals: Opal contains water within its structure. Dry conditions and high heat can cause opals to turn white or chalky or even crack. Avoid prolonged storage in very dry environments like a safe and exposure to heat sources like halogen lamps.
- Store carefully: Opal ranges from 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making it susceptible to scratches from many other gems. Store opal jewelry separately in a soft pouch or a lined compartment of a jewelry box.
