Opal is famous for its "play of colour", the shifting flashes of colour that move across the stone as it turns. This Australian fire opal shows warm orange and red tones with bright flashes, and in Vedic tradition opal is linked with Venus (Shukra).
Opal is a form of silica that contains water. In precious opal, tiny silica spheres split light into flashes of colour. Australia is the world's best-known source of precious opal; the term "fire opal" usually describes opals with orange to red body colour or fiery flashes.
Opal is soft (about 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale). Doublets, triplets (thin opal layers glued to a backing), lab-made opal and imitations are common, so the type should be stated clearly.
In Vedic astrology, opal is often suggested as an alternative to diamond for Venus, the planet traditionally linked with beauty, love, art and comfort. It is customarily worn in silver or white gold on the middle or ring finger, often first on a Friday.
These are traditional beliefs. Opal does not guarantee results in relationships or any other area of life.
