Opal, the birthstone for October, is often regarded as the Queen of Gemstones - and there’s no question as to why. Often compared to fireworks and galaxies, opal has a unique rainbow of colour that leaves other gems envious. Opal can be transparent, translucent or opaque. Opal comes in a rainbow of colours. In fact, boulder opals can have every colour of the rainbow in just one gem. The first known opal relics were found in a cave in Kenya. However, it is believed by geologists that these opals originated in Ethiopia around 4000 BC. Interestingly, it wasnt until the 1990s when miners rediscovered Ethiopian opals all over again despite the age of this regions relics.
