0.86ct Australian White Opal & Dia. Halo Drop Earrings 9ct YG

Celebrated as Australia’s national gemstone since 1993, Opal has held deep spiritual significance in Indigenous culture for over 60,000 years. Australia is the world’s leading source, producing about 97% of all gem quality Opals. From the inky black Opals of Lightning Ridge to the milky whites of Coober Pedy and the crystal clear beauties of Mintabie, each region offers its own unique expression of this gem. What makes Opal truly magical is its “play of colour”, an optical phenomenon where flashes of rainbow hues dance across the surface, caused by microscopic silica spheres within the stone. No two Opals are ever alike, making them one of nature’s most mesmerising and personal gemstones.
