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

It is little wonder it was thought to hold such special power. Opal truly is a remarkable stone.

It has long been prized among crystal collectors and jewellery makers alike. It comes in many colours — white, green, grey, black, yellow, pink… And some specimens of this semi-precious stone are even known for their characteristic rainbow play of colour.

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

This variety does not carry that characteristic iridescent colour shift.
