Opal stone grade

The highest level of opal stone is black opal. The "black" here is not a black gem in the conventional sense, but an embryonic hue of opal. The black opal has a dark blue, dark green, and black background. The high-quality black opal can make the shimmering rainbow light very dazzling, Australia is the most famous black opal origin, such as the Australian lightning mountain. The price of black opal is also 10 times that of ordinary white opal, and the price per carat is higher than diamonds. Because of their scarcity, the high price is very stable. It is also the highest grade among opal stones.

The rank of opal stone is followed by white opal stone. The white opal has a very light background. Generally, it is processed into jewels and needs to be back-sealed to maximize the effect of color change. Good white opal is the strongest kind of color change, so the price of white opal is also very high, ranking second only to black opal.

The classification of opal stones is again the jelly opal. Listening to the name is very cute and beautiful. In fact, jelly opal is a breed with half black opal. The transparent blue-gray base has an amber body color, and its color change is a beautiful blue-violet color. The price of expensive jelly opal is very high, but the color change of jelly opal is usually not so strong. If you can encounter strong color change, don't miss it.

The last of the high-grade rows of Opal Stone is the fire opal. The color of the fire opal is from yellow to red, while the bright red is the most expensive in the fire opal. However, the color change of the fire opal is not obvious, sometimes there will be light green fluorescence, the quality is more transparent, and has a glassy luster. Fire Opal is very popular in the US market.
