Green opal is a stunning gemstone that is as unique as it is beautiful. Mined from various locations around the world, including Australia, Peru, Brazil, and the United States, this stone is a true wonder of nature. Green opal is a type of common opal, which means that it lacks the colorful flashes of light, or “play of color,” that is characteristic of precious opal.

Unlike precious opal, common opal is formed when silica-rich water flows through sedimentary rocks, creating a gel-like substance that eventually hardens into a stone. Green opal gets its stunning green color from traces of nickel and other minerals that are present in the sedimentary rocks where it forms.

When polished and cut, green opal’s beautiful green color is revealed in all its glory. It has a smooth, waxy luster and is often translucent, allowing light to pass through it and adding to its overall beauty. The stone is typically cut into cabochons, which are polished stones with a smooth, rounded top and a flat bottom.

Green opal is a popular choice for jewelry due to its unique beauty and relative affordability compared to precious opals. It is often used in rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, and can be paired with other gemstones for a stunning effect. It is also believed to have healing properties, helping to calm the mind and reduce anxiety.
