PLAY OF COLOR
Most commonly known as the most vibrant and colorful gem in the world, opals are prized for their vivid hue and change of color and are often used in various types of high-class jewelry, including rings, necklaces, and earrings.
When buying an opal, look for stones with a rich, vibrant color, and play of color when the gem is viewed from different lighting and angles. The magnificent play of color in opals is unparallelled and cannot be replicated by any other gem in the world.
A term exclusive to opal-terminology is called “play of color,” which refers to the way light enters the gemstone and flashes brilliantly across it in a fiery display. For an opal to exhibit play of color, it must be a precious opal.
This directly impacts the appeal, rarity, and price of the opal.

BLACK OPALS
Australian black opals are the rarest and most valuable opals in the world, often commanding the highest price per carat. Their rarity comes from their deep, dark body tone—ranging from N1 to N4 on the body tone scale—known as potch. This dark background enhances the brilliance of the opal’s color play, making the vibrant hues appear even more striking.

The body tone of an opal is assessed based on the face or top of the gem and should not be mistaken for its play of color. It should never be determined by the back of the stone. However, in black opals, the potch—typically found on the back—can naturally deepen the overall body tone if it sits directly behind the color bar, enhancing the contrast and making the play of color appear more vivid.

Boulder opal is a unique type of opal that is only found in Queensland and is one of the most sought after types of Australian opals.
Boulder opal has an attribute like no other due to its formation in an ironstone host rock, found in brown ironstone boulders. The opal is usually formed in thin veins through the ironstone and has to be opened or split to find the face of color. The face of the boulder opal is mostly undulating because it follows the natural seam in the boulder. Often we refer to a pair of opals with the same pattern as a boulder split because it has been split down the middle of the vein of color creating two faces with the same pattern and color.
