What is Opal?
Opal is the birthstone for October and gets its name from the word “opalus”, which means ‘seeing a change in colour’. The white opal consists partly of water trapped in the gemstone, which creates its unique iridescence. The pink opal doesn’t have the same reflective qualities, but in return, it has a beautiful creamy pink nuance. Read along if you’d like to know more about Opal.
