Laszlo & Debbi Katona What makes opal jewelry so beautiful? In my humble opinion, it is the infinite variety of color and pattern that makes opal special. Opal has more variety than any other gem and is therefore suited to a wide range of different tastes and preferences. Opal has two levels of color, the base (or background) color and the pattern color (seen as a play of color in a distinctive pattern). Base color ranges from crystal clear through translucent blues or greens, to opaque, pearly white and darker colors through to black. The pattern colours seen overlying the base color of opal can roll, flicker or change as the opal is moved. These colours have great variety, from pastels to bold hues that can cover the entire spectrum of color from red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. With so much variety, there is an opal out there for everybody! Laszlo Katona - Proprietor, Laszlo's Opals & Jewelry.

Myths and facts about opal and care of the precious gem. Myth: Opal must be periodically immersed in water to prevent it drying out and cracking. Fact:This is probably the most common opal myth. The water content of opal is actually determined during its formation, with water molecules locked in minute voids within opal's crystalline silicon structure. Opal is not porous and will not soak up water. Stable opal has a water content ranging from approximately three to ten percent. Opal may crack or craze if the water content is outside of this stable range. The most likely reason for the propagation of this myth is that immersing a cracked opal in water results in the water infilling the crack, hiding the flaw and improving the look of the stone for a very short time. Responsible opal merchants source their rough opal from fields that are renowned for producing stable opal and hold their stock of opal for a sufficient amount of time (in a dry environment) to ensure that it does not develop flaws. Myth: Opals should be rubbed with oil or glycerin to preserve color and prevent cracking. Fact: For the same reasons given above, oil will not improve the stability of opal. Oil may cause a scratched or dull opal to appear shinier and therefore brighter. The best way to improve a scratched, dull stone is to have it re-polished by a qualified opal cutter. Myth: Opal is unlucky unless it is your birthstone. Fact: There is some debate over the origin of this myth. Some believe that diamond merchants perpetuated this rumour because they believed the popularity of opal would reduce diamond sales. Another suggestion is that Sir Walter Scott in a 19th century novel Anne of Geierstein (1829) represented the changing fortunes of the heroine as a manifestation of her opal. In the minds of her readers opal became associated with misfortune. Alternatively, there are just as many tales of magical opals that bring the bearers good luck and good health! Ancient Greeks believed that opal gave the owner the ability to predict the future. The Romans believed that like a rainbow, opal brought good luck to the owner and valued the opal as a talisman and protection from disease. People from the Orient regarded opal as sacred.

Many thanks, Joan - California Dear Debbi and Laszlo, My fiancé, Penny, wore her Opal Pendant for the first time today and she was absolutely thrilled to bits. She said it was wonderful and very special and that she will wear it all the time. She was most impressed that I went to the trouble to order an opal from half way round the world and I told her that Australia is the best place to go for opals. I looked at a lot of websites before deciding that yours was the best, which it is by a long way. So I would like to say again how great it has been doing business with you and to say thank you for bringing this extra joy and happiness into our lives with your exquisite and beautiful opal jewellery.
