OPAL

Opals are among the few jewels that have been worn since the beginning of time, along with diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and pearls.  Play-of-color is a phenomenon whereby opals change color as you spin or move the gemstone.  These beautiful stones, which contain up to 20% water, are composed of microscopic silica and oxygen spheres that originated in clay layers.  It has also been regarded as the most beautiful and exciting of all gemstones.  The reason for this is the mysterious play of color that is displayed as the stone moves.  Add to this the brilliance and variety of the different colors contained within this phenomenon and you have a remarkable gem.  Opal doublets are slices of opal adhered to a backing, usually common opal.  Doublets cause the color to be more brilliant and offer protection to the delate stone.  Doublets are acceptable in the jewelry industry due to this.

Note: Opals should never be soaked, immersed, or cleaned with jewelry cleaners.  You may clean with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent.  Handle opal jewelry with care, as opals are sensitive to shocks, scratching, and sudden changes in temperature.
