| Known
for its fabulous play-of-color, Opal,
the October birthstone, has long been the center of myth
and legend. In the past, the color changes may have signified
special powers or a sign from heaven, but today they signify
immense beauty and intrigue. Opals are widely recognized
stones that offer several varieties. Traditional opals
demonstrate their color change in a lightly colored body,
while black opals, a rare variety, show their spectacular
play-of-color against a dark body color. Mexican fire
opals are yet another unusual variety that range from
yellow to orange to red in body color, with or without
the internal fire opals are known for. Remember to inform
customers of opal's fragility and special care instructions.
Stones should not be exposed to rough handling, chemicals,
or sudden temperature changes. Opals should only be cleaned
a slightly damp or dry cloth. |
