Origin– Australia have the best found Opal gemstones. The Opal from Australia is widely popular throughout the world for its bright hue and rich fire pattern. The next popular opal variety can be found in Ethiopia. Generally not recommended for astrological gem therapy because it has not as white as Australian opal and due to its porous structure it is not advisable to wear Ethopian opal for astrological benefits.

An Opal having dark colors like Blue, Green or Black is also highly desirable as it displays perfect play-of-color above their dark background.
Role of Fire in the Opal– The presence of fire is the main distinguishing element between a plain & a precious Opal. Precious opal has a bright & consistent fire which makes it highly desirable compared to the fainted and the pale play of colors in the plain Opal which also reduces its market price. These Opals are cheaper but don’t possess astrological benefits. Opals having broad, sparkling and vivid flashing patterns are rare and hence, expensive as compared to the small & pinfire patterned opal.
Shape– In order to make gem quality Opals, it is cut & polished from a rough stone. Make sure to avoid purchasing Opals that have too high or too flat domes as they become more vulnerable to cracks while being customized in jewelry.
