- Dear viewers! Today we will traditionally talk about one of the most beautiful stones - OPAL STONE - The queen of all gemstones.
Opal stone is a gem, colored as space, rainbow, and it indeed relates to something extraordinarily magical.
Opal stone doesn’t have any crystal structure that other natural minerals possess. It ranks low on the Mohs scale of hardness.
It is impossible to ignore the beautiful dance of colors that happens with every movement, called the opalescence effect.
Rainbow modulations, changing at the smallest rotation of the opal stone, are caused by the refraction of light to submicroscopic particles of silica.
The opals that experience such effects are called noble and go to the category of precious stones.
There are many different types of natural opals viz., Ethiopian, matrix, Harlequin, Contra-luz, Morado, Andamooka, and Honduran Opal.
Ethiopian Opal Stones
Australia has been the dominant power in the opal market for over 100 years. During the early time, as much as 95% of the standard opal production has been worked in Australia.
Today, Ethiopia is on its way to developing the second largest opal market in the world.
A small discovery in 1994 has put Ethiopia on the universal opal map. This achievement was followed by some evident developments in 2008 and 2013.
These are now producing beautiful precious Opal, fire opal, and black Opal with spectacular play-of-color in a variety of patterns and textures.
Ethiopian opals are not only attractive, but they usually cost less than similar-quality Opal from Australia.
Opal from this area occurs in a wide range of colors. Mostly, these Opals are of brown, red, or orange-colored, but yellow, white, and transparent colors are also very common.

When we humans are under pressure, we act without thinking, producing our best work in the most simplest ways. The same goes for our Earth. Mother Nature has taken the simplest of elements, water, sand and hydrogen and under pressure, has created fire encased in a stone.
Humans need to take note from our planet more. Pressure will always be, but the answers are more often there in the simplest of forms. This stone for me reiterates the idea that I use in teaching. Thinking can be overrated.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 another jaw dropping comment. Sir thank you so much for such a beautiful message.
Thank you very much
🌟⭐️🤩👍
Precious Opal also requires an electrical field to form.
Thinking based on false premise is always overrated... Learn How to Reason! (A Course In Miracles)
I will never understand how people fawn over Diamonds when we have stones like THIS that exist in the world. I will take opal over diamond any day. Each a beautiful unique work of art from the Earth and Mother Nature!
☺️
If you need to bay i have opal on hand you can contact me by comment
I absolutely agree with you!
I agree totally. I would rather have a good quality opal than a diamond any day.
@@firanoltaye2187 What's up bay :)
It’s like holding a tiny universe in your hand. Absolutely stunning

Opals are so, so pretty! Thanks for another video!
So fascinating, the Peruvian opal looks like tropical water, yet is found in the mountains. It contains the elements you’d find at the beach, oxygen and hydrogen for the water and silicon in the sand. They’re like rocks that the beach was trapped inside like a looking glass. These Opals are so beautiful, the colors are stunning. They all look like a window into another world, some look like the universe, others like the sea, sky, landscapes, sunsets, even a glimpse into Heaven.
Thank you, Sevi. You see it like a true artist. Seeing the world in all its beauty.

Andrew Pidor amazing
Thank you for another wonderful presentation showcasing this colorful gem family! I always look forward to seeing what’s in store next!
No other gemstone compares to Opal in beauty and color. A thousand 1 carat diamonds cut in the same pattern of the same grade look practically identical. A thousand top Black Opals from Lightning ridge each have their own finger print of incredibly amazing color.
No wonder I love these so much.... Everything the Opals signify behind the gorgeous black opal colours. I fell in love with them the first time I saw them. They are also alive and need Love and Care 💞 They usually feel wonderful to the touch. I would love to see a solid arm band or bracelet in black opal....
I bought an opal bracelet while in Lightning Ridge and love it a lot. The thing I found though, that while wearing it, I get easily distracted watching the play of colours flashing in it, and miss other people talking to me while fascinated by it. :)
Great video well done, living not far from Lightning Ridge I’ve always thought about heading out for a scratch through the tailings. 👍🏼
Thank you. I felt like I went to a class and studied beautiful things.
Love my "kalimaya" black opal ,from banten indonesia 😍
If they look this good on the video, they are probably out of this world in person.
One of my very favourite gemstones. Fabulous.
Glad you liked it dear

Beautiful gemstone - nice to know ( although small in quantity) they’re found all over the world - I thought they only came from Australia - my favorite black opal and the ones that looked like they had encased nature: clouds, mountains etc
They're specially says special on psychedelics
Rudhda Russia mushrooms
Ethiopia as well
The most I love is the Brazilian white opal. It's very interesting to know where the opals come from. Thank you for your video.
No Brasil temos até um automóvel que recebeu esse nome Chevrolet Opala produzido de 1969 a 1992 um belo exemplar 👍

I love the way they look like Earth... The pictures of Earth from the space station....

Opals are the most mysterious and surprisingly amazing gem stones.They are suitable for all people connected with the signs of water by zodiac.Nevertheless.harďly you can find anyone who doesn't like this superb stone.It is magnificent indeed!I also like opals very much.no matter which colour prevails among presented collections.The play of different colours and shades of many colours is changeable and impressive!Thanks a lot for your high quality videos on gem stones and receive our best wishes to the channel!
Hello dear, thank you so much 😊
Ooh I’m a water sign :) can I ask what the connection is with opal and water signs?
My zodiac sign is aquarius, I didn't know why love opal so much until you explained that there's a connection between water zodiac signs and opal 🤗
Beautiful😍
Their like diamonds with their colors exploded then froze. Cool. Rockhound for life.
That is true
I'd much prefer an opal to a diamond!
I’ve owned opals throughout my life. I learned never to put them in hot water, and to put baby oil on them.
I clean my opals with mineral oil.
Opals (much like emeralds) are somewhat porous & benefit from the oil to keep them from drying out & becoming more fragile.
Baby oil, wtf??
@@ClashixTV carol gave you an explanation.
O the blue and green and bits of gold fleck is so damn beautiful... 💞
Thank You ..
You're welcome
Wow so gorgeous.My birth Stone..I just loved jewelry and gems 💎 power of happiness and life. Thank you so much perfect explained.💙💘💙🙏
You are so welcome
Luar biasa kalimaya teh .
Muito boa a apresentação das Opalas, tenho uma parecida com essas cores.
Мой любимый камень. К нам, в Киев, привозит опалы человек, который добывает их в Австралии! Фантастически прекрасный камень!!
That pic , thumbnail? That reminds me of pictures of the cosmos. Like many universes. So beautiful. Some of the yellow and orange opals make me think of Monet and his paintings of flowers.
Oh yeah!☺️ the paintings of Monet.
Amazing Verry nice🤩🤩🤩
Good Video
Thanks
In Indonesia, we have fire opal too. And we have yellow common Opal called koneng Garut.
These Australian black opals are the most beautiful.
They really are

Nice and lovely ❤
Many many thanks
Wow, i love OPALS ❣
😃💖🦚🌹
Opals are the best out there. People love Australian and Virgin Valley but I really like the Indonesian Wood opals, I don't care that they heat treat, it's awesome and much cheaper than a jewelry grade
It's the first time I know all this information about opal Gemstones
great opalls here in oz
I just have to watch this video again. Opal, amethyst and peridot are my favourite gemstones. (I love your videos..) Thankyou! Oh, I also love tanzanite, but only the AAAA type.
You are so welcome!
Good
I'll take an Opal over a Diamond anytime, in fact I have several Fire Opals and not one of them is the same as the other, they are very unique on their own, I imagine it has to do with the way they are cut.
Three minutes to get to the freeking video. I believe this is damn near the longest intro I've ever seen in my life on CZcams.
Aussie and Ethiopian opals make diamonds look like a joke.
Diamonds are overrated
Space and time are needed ill be Here waiting for YOU pray read Daily it will be okay 👍
Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 🙏
Very nice

Video yang bagus
Wow, the stone at 12:17 looks just like the space image Pillars of Creation
Sorry batu oval .indah luar biasa
Green one
I have some of that Utah opal. We call it Jello opal because it has layers of red yellow green and orange.
I never knew there were so many types of Opal.
Glad to know you enjoyed it. 🤗
@@AndrewPidor Did I enjoy :)
Wauw zo mooi,😍👍
I ll Love.!!, Opal.😉
Đẹp quá tuyệt vời nha
Opal was the favourite stone for my grandmother.
Opal is representing galaxies and universe's.
Śliczne
I love opals! The color variants in the man made/lab created are phenomenal. But people say that opals are bad luck to wear unless it’s your birthstone. Wonderful video. Thanks.
That was started by the Diamond cartel due to the popularity of the opal I had an white opal ring by J C Penney for 3.00 dollars never had a bit of bad luck my birthday is on March
Hello hello dear old friend. Thank you so much for all the years you have been there always. 🥲
No, Andrew, thank you for all your hard work and wonderful videos to brighten my days. You are so talented!
@@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647 I kind of knew that and love them all the more. I’m a freak for all things blue and love the blue opal fire the most! I plan to go to Nevada to dig at a mine and find some opal filled geodes, fun-fun-fun!
@@constancekrischan9967 You can't fee dig at the Geodes Mine in Oregon, Only the Precious Opal Wood Mines in Nevada.
Opal the most beautiful gem stone
Oh it is Spring 🌱
Maja,rangkasbitung banten indonesia,batu kalimaya
Anímo a ver todos los ópalos que encuentro en la isla de gran Canaria, son maravillosos!
Really I would do that now, thank you 😊
Australia seems to have everything.
Except freedom and bodily integrity.
