In the Middle Ages, people believed that opal would bring good luck. They also believed that by wrapping an opal in a fresh bay leaf, one could become invisible.

It is no wonder it was thought to hold such special powers. Opal is truly a remarkable stone.

It has long been prized among crystal collectors and jewellery makers alike. It comes in a wide range of colours — white, green, grey, black, yellow, pink… And some specimens of this semi-precious stone even display a beautiful rainbow play of colour.

Andean Opal is known for its vivid colouring and swirling "vortices" of colour. The colours that swirl across these stones are typically beige/brown, black, pink, blue and green.

This variety does not feature the colour play characteristic of certain types of opal.
