This precious stone is famed for its ability to diffract light.
Australian scientists only recently discovered opal’s unique properties in the 1960s after analysis with electron microscopes.
It was discovered that small spheres of silica gel caused interference, refraction and diffraction of light, resulting in opal's distinctive play of colour.

They are known as the stones of trust and innocence and are traditionally given to 13th wedding anniversaries.
Of course, if you have birthday in October, the Opal is also your birthstone, as well as the Tourmaline.
