Opal is a highly prized gemstone known for its stunning play of colors, displaying a vibrant spectrum of hues. This remarkable phenomenon, known as "play of color," occurs due to the unique way light interacts with silica spheres within the stone, creating a dazzling rainbow effect.
Many cultures have believed that opal brings luck, creativity, and inspiration to its wearer, making it a cherished gemstone throughout history. As the birthstone for October, opal is also believed to protect and strengthen those born in this month, further adding to its allure and significance.
