Opal necklaces have been made from Australian Black Opals, white opals, Mexican fire opals and even fossil opals.
Mexican Opals are some of the most beautiful gems. Fire opals, beautiful orange or red based opals have been traditionally associated with Queretero Mexico, but they have also been found elsewhere in Mexico. Pinfire is sometimes used to describe an opal difraction consisting of countless light specks, like the proverbial angels dancing on a pinhead. Fire opal, Black opal, white opal, and fossil opal are some of the varieties of this gemstone that is made into opal necklaces, opal pendants, opal earrings, opal rings, and other opal jewelry. Sometimes raw opals display all the splendor derived from the incredible psychedelic interplay of light within the gem. Opals are an amorphous hydrous silica, they do not have a regular crystaline structure like so many of the other gemstones (emeralds, diamonds, rubies, tourmalines), and it is this irregular structure that bends the light this way and that, causing the beautiful dispays that we desire in a fine opal. Opal has a hardness range of 5.5 to 6.5 and it is chemically defined as SiO2-nH2O. Opal has often pseudomorphed, following the shape of ancient wood or fossils that preceeded it and left a vacuum for the silica consequently it is sometimes clam or other fossil shapes, or within petrified wood (known as wood opal).
