Opal happens to be one of the most breathtakingly beautiful gemstones in the world; and there is of course, a solid reason why. The ever-so-striking opal is known to form from the rain.
While there isn’t a common consensus on how opals are created, many like to believe that these precious gemstones are formed by rain.
The rainwater seeps down into the cracks of the rocks. When the water evaporates, the silica is left behind which dries out with time and thickens into a gorgeous opal.
However, in ancient times, the ancient Greeks called opals as “Opallios” which means “to see a change of color” and were believed to be formed from the happy tears of Zeus when he defeated the Titans.
It was further believed that the opal could also impart prophetic gifts and powers. Therefore, this gemstone is considered as a lucky stone by many civilizations.
What really sets opals apart from other gemstones in the world is its more-than-meets-the-eyes quality. Opal consists of thousands and millions of silica spheres in different colors and sizes.
These silica spheres deflect beautiful spectator of colors that are an absolute feast to the eyes. What is more incredible is that opals come in different types, each of them showing off their distinctive beauty in their own way.
