360 DEGREES COLOUR PLAY
Taken from the GIA
Desirable play-of-color is further broken down by the colors themselves. Traditionally, red is considered the best prominent color, orange the next most desirable, followed by green. However, favored colors can vary with fashion or personal preference.
In addition, an opal’s play-of-color can change along with the viewing angle or type of light. For example, red might dominate in the same portion of an opal cabochon where blue dominates when it’s viewed from a different angle.
The most valuable opals display play-of-color from all angles.
APOLOGIES FOR PICTURE. IT IS FROM SUPPLIER, BUT IS AWFUL. NO JUSTICE AT ALL!!
BIT OF INTERESTING OPAL TRIVIA. DID YOU KNOW, THAT IF AN OPAL IS NOT MANAGING TO FIRE OR FLASH EN CABOCHON, THEY WILL THEN FACET THE GEMSTONE TO GET IT FIRE.
