Our Commitment to Quality
Our very hard gems are guaranteed to never crack or craze, and are never treated. We ensure that the opals we provide are of the highest quality and authenticity. We do not feature doublets or triplets, thus preserving the natural beauty and integrity of each gemstone.
Bright & Beautiful
Our opals possess the play of color and brightness of only the finest opal gems. The captivating dance of colors seen in our opals is a result of a phenomenon known as “play of color,” which occurs when light interacts with the silica spheres within the stone. This unique characteristic makes each opal distinct and highly sought after by discriminating consumers and jewelers from around the world.
Varying Sizes and Shapes
Our opals range in size from less than a carat up to over forty carats. Whether you are looking for a delicate gemstone to accentuate a piece of jewelry or a larger stone to make a bold statement, we offer a variety of sizes to meet your needs. We feature ovals and rounds as well as cushion cuts and free-forms, ensuring that you can find the perfect shape to suit your design preferences.
Types of Opal
We feature black, crystal, dark, white, and boulder
opal, each with its own unique features and patterns.
Black opals are prized for their dark body tone and vivid play of color, making them some of the most valuable opals available. Crystal opals are known for their transparency and brilliant flashes of color, while dark opals have a more subdued body tone with vibrant color play. White opals have a light body tone and a gentle, ethereal appearance, and boulder opals are characterized by their natural ironstone matrix, which highlights the opal’s play of color in a breathtaking fashion.
Host Rock and Matrix
The host rock and matrix of each opal highlight the unique play of color in every stone. The natural inclusions and patterns found in the matrix add to the individuality and charm of each gemstone, making it a one-of-a-kind creation of nature.

About Opalocity
Crafting Beauty with
Every Opal Gemstone
Opal is not only the birthstone for those born in October but is also an exquisite choice for anyone with an eye for beauty. Our opals are designed to be worn close to the skin, where their natural luster and play of color can be fully appreciated. Over time, the luster of an opal may dim, but it can always be quickly polished to restore its original brightness and clarity.
The Symbolism of Opal
Opals have been celebrated throughout history for their mystical and symbolic properties. In ancient times, opals were believed to possess magical powers and bring good luck to their wearer. The Romans considered opals to be a symbol of hope and purity, while in the Middle Ages, they were thought to contain the virtues of all gemstones due to their diverse colors.
Caring for Your Opal
To maintain the beauty of your opal, it is essential to care for it properly. Avoid exposing your opal to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and prolonged direct sunlight. When not in use, store your opal jewelry in a soft cloth or padded jewelry box to protect it from scratches and damage. Regularly clean your opal with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or oils that may accumulate on its surface.
