Opals: Explore the Dance of Colors with Warren Jewelers

Opals are truly a universe encapsulated in a stone. Have you ever lost yourself staring into an opal, enchanted by its play of colors? If sapphires are the deep blue ocean, opals are the magical rainbows that grace our skies after a light drizzle.

Journey of an Opal

Born from rain, the opal has a captivating story. Imagine this: rain pours down on parched earth, sinking deep into ancient rock and carrying dissolved silica with it. Over time, the water evaporates, leaving behind those tiny silica spheres, which stack upon each other to form opals. It's this unique arrangement of silica that gives opals their mesmerizing color play.

Opals Through the Ages

Historically, opals have been considered symbols of hope and purity. They've been discovered in ancient royal tombs, and even the Romans believed opals to be the most precious and powerful gem of them all. Remember the legendary Roman senator, Nonius? He chose exile over selling his valuable opal ring to Mark Antony.

Colors Beyond Imagination

While most people recognize the iconic white opal with its shimmering colors, opals come in many different shades. From the fiery reds of the Mexican Fire Opals to the mysterious blues of the Australian Black Opals, there's an opal out there for every gem lover.
