KOROIT OPAL

Zodiac Signs: Libra, Scorpio

Opals are considered to be king of all gemstones.
It is said that there is an entire complicated scientific process behind the formation of the patterns in opal.

The color comes from the reflection of the scattering of light on closely packed silica spheres .
The arrangement of these spheres, which vary in size and pattern, is responsible for the different colors.

Opal represents purity and intensity.

The name opal is said to be derived from the Sanskrit meaning “precious stone,” and later the Greek derivative “Opallios,” which means “to see a change of color.”

Opals can last for a very long time if good care is taken. These come in larger sizes and are very affordable.

People also make jewellery out of these stones.

Koroit Opal refers to Opal that comes from a particular area in Queensland.
