The opal is a gemstone that exhibits a unique phenomenon known as “play of color.” This refers to the captivating display of shimmering hues that dance across the surface of the stone, creating a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colors. Opals can emit a wide range of shades including vibrant reds, fiery oranges, vivid greens, and deep blues, among others. This captivating feature is what sets opals apart from other gemstones and makes them highly sought after in the world of jewelry. . . . #opal #rom
