What is an opal stone?

Opal is a fine stone (formerly called "stone half-precious"), fascinating by its great variety and its wide range of colors. Some varieties of opal have a very interesting play of colors and their iridescence is only visible when exposed to light. It is for this reason, as well as to protect it from shocks, that it is often cut in cabochon. Australia produces 95% of the most beautiful opals. Latin America, especially Mexico, is known for its bright orange fire opals that can be faceted. It has a hardness of 5.5 and 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
