The Origins of Opal

Opal, with its mesmerising play of colours, has enchanted people for centuries. Originating from ancient Roman times, opals were believed to hold the power of prophecy and protection. Formed from silica deposits, these gemstones display a spectrum of colours, making each opal unique. Chosen as October’s birthstone, opals symbolise hope, purity, and truth, perfectly embodying the qualities associated with this month.
