In the Middle Ages it was believed that opal would bring good fortune. People also believed that by wrapping an opal in a fresh bay leaf you could make yourself invisible.

No wonder it was thought to hold such special power. Opal truly is a remarkable stone.

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

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

This variety does not display the play of colour characteristic of certain types of Opal.
