The name opal comes from a Latin word "opalus" meaning stone.

Opal gemstones can be clear through white, gray, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, magenta, rose, pink, slate, olive, brown, and black.

The most expensive of all opal gemstones are the reds against black, being as they are the most rare. The least expensive is the white and greens being as they are the most common.

The opal is known for shifting colors, called "fire". This is the result of microscopic spherical structures within the gem which reflect the light creating the colorful shimmering effect. No other gemstone can lay claim to that ability.
