Opal is one of the most popular Gemstones around the world, and is often a feature of jewellery worn by celebrities or royalty. Australia produces around 95% of the world's Opals and the majority of this Opal is white Opal from the fields of Coober Pedy in South Australia. The play of colour that is seen in Opal is due to millions of tiny Silica spheres of different sizes. These spheres refract light and cause the beautiful spectral colours within the Opal. The spheres have to be just the right size and of a uniform nature to create enough colour for our eyes to see.
