Milky opal

Opal is a hydrated silica mineral. In Sanskrit, the name Upala means gemstone. These minerals come in various shades (red, blue, green, white, black, and others) caused by the addition of iron, chromium, manganese, and other heavy metals. White opals, also called milky opals, are most commonly found in nature. They are characterised by opalescence, which gives a mystical spectrum of colours. Due to this property, white opals are most often used to produce luxury jewellery (rings, piercings).
