Physical properties

Formation & geological history

Opal forms when silica-rich water deposits hydrated silica in cavities and fractures, commonly in volcanic rocks or sediment. Pink opal deposits occur in places including Peru and Australia; geological ages vary by deposit.

Uses & applications

Polished opal is used for beads, cabochons, and jewelry; it is also collected as a decorative gemstone.

Geological facts

Common opal is usually opaque and lacks the shifting spectral play-of-color seen in precious opal.

Field identification & locations

Look for opaque pastel color, waxy luster, and rounded beads; opal is softer than quartz and can be scratched or damaged by heat and drying. The bracelet’s exact stone and charm material require testing or seller documentation.
