Opal’s flashing rainbow play-of-color is caused by diffraction of light by silica spheres stacked internally in the stone.
The name Opal is derived from the Latin word opalus-meaning precious stone. This lovely precious gemstone Black Opal in this semi precious gemstone Black Agate bead pendant comes from Lightning Ridge, Australia.
