Description

Origin: Opal mines are discovered in Australia, Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, Sudan, Hungary and the USA. Of all origins, Opal from Australia is widely popular for its bright hue and rich fire. Ethiopian opal is next preferred followed by Mexican opal which is transparent to translucent and reddish orange in appearance.

Colour: Colour is the most influential factor for evaluating the Opal’s value. Pure white with fire is the most dominant hue although orange, black, green, blue and pink opals also exist. A white opal with fire is considered most desirable for its astrological purposes. Opals with a dark body colour like black, blue and green are equally valued as they display a perfect play-of-color above a dark background.

Cut: Precious opal is generally cut into round, oval or pear shape. Opal cost increases for special cuts like marquis, heart-shaped and rectangular due to the carat wastage involved in the process.

Clarity:  The value of transparent opal generally reduces due to the presence of a milky or cloudy background. The cost of crystal opal increases with the rise in the level of transparency. For opaque gems, like white opal and dark black opal, the presence of eye visible inclusions, pits or blemishes reduces the price drastically.

Carat Weight:  If the stone is of good quality, a 3 to 4 carat opal will suit a wearer of any age and body weight and provide good results. If the stone is of low to medium quality, a 5 to 7 carat ruby is recommended. If one can afford it, a 5-10 carat good quality opal is best.

Who can wear Opal Stone

In Vedic astrology, opal is ideally suited for those whose moon signs (rashi) and ascendants (lagna) are Taurus (vrshabha), Libra (tula), Capricorn (makara) and Aquarius (kumbha).
