The opal is a fragile hydrated silica material,
made of sub microscopic silica spheres held
together by more silica and water. It is a soft
stone, easily altered in appearance by changes
in heat and pressure. Opals are formed in
near-surface volcanic rocks, within cavities
and cracks. In sedimentary volcanic ash rock,
percolating water in the ground dissolves silica
that eventually precipitates to form the opal,
sometimes becoming the replacement material
for fossils -- shells, bones, wood -- whose original
material had dissolved away. Opals are famous
for their "play of colours" -- many stones flash
the colours of the rainbow when moved, due to the
interference of light on small cracks and other
internal structural differences. The milky or pearly
appearance of some opals are due to
inclusions of tiny gas bubbles. The principal source
of opals is Australia.
