- Dear viewers! Today we will traditionally talk about one of the most beautiful stones - OPAL STONE - The queen of all gemstones.
Opal stone is a gem, colored as space, rainbow, and it indeed relates to something extraordinarily magical.
Opal stone doesn’t have any crystal structure that other natural minerals possess. It ranks low on the Mohs scale of hardness.
It is impossible to ignore the beautiful dance of colors that happens with every movement, called the opalescence effect.
Rainbow modulations, changing at the smallest rotation of the opal stone, are caused by the refraction of light to submicroscopic particles of silica.
The opals that experience such effects are called noble and go to the category of precious stones.
There are many different types of natural opals viz., Ethiopian, matrix, Harlequin, Contra-luz, Morado, Andamooka, and Honduran Opal.
Ethiopian Opal Stones
Australia has been the dominant power in the opal market for over 100 years. During the early time, as much as 95% of the standard opal production has been worked in Australia.
Today, Ethiopia is on its way to developing the second largest opal market in the world.
A small discovery in 1994 has put Ethiopia on the universal opal map. This achievement was followed by some evident developments in 2008 and 2013.
These are now producing beautiful precious Opal, fire opal, and black Opal with spectacular play-of-color in a variety of patterns and textures.
Ethiopian opals are not only attractive, but they usually cost less than similar-quality Opal from Australia.
Opal from this area occurs in a wide range of colors. Mostly, these Opals are of brown, red, or orange-colored, but yellow, white, and transparent colors are also very common.

When we humans are under pressure, we act without thinking, producing our best work in the most simplest ways. The same goes for our Earth. Mother Nature has taken the simplest of elements, water, sand and hydrogen and under pressure, has created fire encased in a stone.
Humans need to take note from our planet more. Pressure will always be, but the answers are more often there in the simplest of forms. This stone for me reiterates the idea that I use in teaching. Thinking can be overrated.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 another jaw dropping comment. Sir thank you so much for such a beautiful message.
Thank you very much
🌟⭐️🤩👍
Precious Opal also requires an electrical field to form.
Thinking based on false premise is always overrated... Learn How to Reason! (A Course In Miracles)
I will never understand how people fawn over Diamonds when we have stones like THIS that exist in the world. I will take opal over diamond any day. Each a beautiful unique work of art from the Earth and Mother Nature!
☺️
If you need to bay i have opal on hand you can contact me by comment
I absolutely agree with you!
I agree totally. I would rather have a good quality opal than a diamond any day.
@@firanoltaye2187 What's up bay :)
It’s like holding a tiny universe in your hand. Absolutely stunning

Thank you for another wonderful presentation showcasing this colorful gem family! I always look forward to seeing what’s in store next!
So fascinating, the Peruvian opal looks like tropical water, yet is found in the mountains. It contains the elements you’d find at the beach, oxygen and hydrogen for the water and silicon in the sand. They’re like rocks that the beach was trapped inside like a looking glass. These Opals are so beautiful, the colors are stunning. They all look like a window into another world, some look like the universe, others like the sea, sky, landscapes, sunsets, even a glimpse into Heaven.
Thank you, Sevi. You see it like a true artist. Seeing the world in all its beauty.

Opals are so, so pretty! Thanks for another video!
No wonder I love these so much.... Everything the Opals signify behind the gorgeous black opal colours. I fell in love with them the first time I saw them. They are also alive and need Love and Care 💞 They usually feel wonderful to the touch. I would love to see a solid arm band or bracelet in black opal....
I bought an opal bracelet while in Lightning Ridge and love it a lot. The thing I found though, that while wearing it, I get easily distracted watching the play of colours flashing in it, and miss other people talking to me while fascinated by it. :)
Great video well done, living not far from Lightning Ridge I’ve always thought about heading out for a scratch through the tailings. 👍🏼
One of my numerous favorite gemstones, for sure.
Thank you for the outstanding video!
Great video, educational.a lot of facts.thank you so much.
Thank you. I felt like I went to a class and studied beautiful things.
It's beautiful and amazing.
One of my very favourite gemstones. Fabulous.
Glad you liked it dear
If they look this good on the video, they are probably out of this world in person.
No other gemstone compares to Opal in beauty and color. A thousand 1 carat diamonds cut in the same pattern of the same grade look practically identical. A thousand top Black Opals from Lightning ridge each have their own finger print of incredibly amazing color.
Beautiful as they are mysterious. - captured within stone-unicorn Breath!
I love that term "stone unicorn". STAY WARM. 🔥 Love and light from Gore, Oklahoma. ❤💡
I think of them as rock glitter lol

Hello dear, thank you so much 😊
Ooh I’m a water sign :) can I ask what the connection is with opal and water signs?
My zodiac sign is aquarius, I didn't know why love opal so much until you explained that there's a connection between water zodiac signs and opal 🤗
Tutto questo splendore grazie alla luce.Fantastico.

The most I love is the Brazilian white opal. It's very interesting to know where the opals come from. Thank you for your video.

Beautiful gemstone - nice to know ( although small in quantity) they’re found all over the world - I thought they only came from Australia - my favorite black opal and the ones that looked like they had encased nature: clouds, mountains etc
They're specially says special on psychedelics
Rudhda Russia mushrooms
Ethiopia as well
I'll take an Opal over a Diamond anytime, in fact I have several Fire Opals and not one of them is the same as the other, they are very unique on their own, I imagine it has to do with the way they are cut.
2:31 Gotto love that sound effect of a 90's era mouse.
That pic , thumbnail? That reminds me of pictures of the cosmos. Like many universes. So beautiful. Some of the yellow and orange opals make me think of Monet and his paintings of flowers.
Oh yeah!☺️ the paintings of Monet.
Thanks
Fico encantada com a beleza desta pedra, maravilhosa.

O the blue and green and bits of gold fleck is so damn beautiful... 💞
Opal is the birthstone of my husband so of course it's in my wedding band. And it's probably not a natural rare gemstone but it's mine and symbolizes the love for my better half
Gostei muito dó seu canal é sou garimpeiro 🙏

I just have to watch this video again. Opal, amethyst and peridot are my favourite gemstones. (I love your videos..) Thankyou! Oh, I also love tanzanite, but only the AAAA type.

Мой любимый камень. К нам, в Киев, привозит опалы человек, который добывает их в Австралии! Фантастически прекрасный камень!!

I have some of that Utah opal. We call it Jello opal because it has layers of red yellow green and orange.
In Indonesia, we have fire opal too. And we have yellow common Opal called koneng Garut.
Wow, i love OPALS ❣
😃💖🦚🌹
What Music piece is playing in the background at around 4:50 ??
Wow, the stone at 12:17 looks just like the space image Pillars of Creation
nice
Cute!
Opals are the best out there. People love Australian and Virgin Valley but I really like the Indonesian Wood opals, I don't care that they heat treat, it's awesome and much cheaper than a jewelry grade
宇宙の星たちにソックリ🌟
Super.oke.
Luar biasa kalimaya teh .
Wow
❤
These Australian black opals are the most beautiful.
They really are
I’ve owned opals throughout my life. I learned never to put them in hot water, and to put baby oil on them.
I clean my opals with mineral oil.
Opals (much like emeralds) are somewhat porous & benefit from the oil to keep them from drying out & becoming more fragile.
Baby oil, wtf??
@@ClashixTV carol gave you an explanation.
Anímo a ver todos los ópalos que encuentro en la isla de gran Canaria, son maravillosos!
Really I would do that now, thank you 😊
I love opals! The color variants in the man made/lab created are phenomenal. But people say that opals are bad luck to wear unless it’s your birthstone. Wonderful video. Thanks.
That was started by the Diamond cartel due to the popularity of the opal I had an white opal ring by J C Penney for 3.00 dollars never had a bit of bad luck my birthday is on March
Hello hello dear old friend. Thank you so much for all the years you have been there always. 🥲
No, Andrew, thank you for all your hard work and wonderful videos to brighten my days. You are so talented!
@@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647 I kind of knew that and love them all the more. I’m a freak for all things blue and love the blue opal fire the most! I plan to go to Nevada to dig at a mine and find some opal filled geodes, fun-fun-fun!
@@constancekrischan9967 You can't fee dig at the Geodes Mine in Oregon, Only the Precious Opal Wood Mines in Nevada.
Video yang bagus
Three minutes to get to the freeking video. I believe this is damn near the longest intro I've ever seen in my life on UA-cam.
Hello Andrew old friend! I hope this is an auspicious beginning to yr series on particular gemstones such as rubies, ahem, sapphires, etc and will include the now precious stones tanzanite. I'm not much of a fan of opals honesly but they are beautiful. I sent you my research on rubies, hope you go it this time. Very sleepy now and here I call myself a nightowl. Do take care and I await yr golden answer. Much love to you! ~~Chanel
Oh hello dear, how are you? I am doing good 👍🏻 everything seems to be fine. Dear just like to ask the topic that your sending me what is file size. Because if it is more than 25 mb it not fit on the mail. I have been waiting it and it seems it doesn’t go through. Christmas is coming and I would love to publish a red stone for the season 🤗
@@AndrewPidor It cant be all that big, no files attached to it. Just an email with links in it. Maybe I'll break it into two or 3 emails, see if you get it (them) that way. So gla dto hear you're well Andrew, I hope things continue to lighten up for all of us, I'll send you the email in 3 parts later tonight, just holla back if you get it or received it or any of them ok?

Hi ,how mmuch does it coast ?

Opal is representing galaxies and universe's.
Opal was the favourite stone for my grandmother.
Very nice
Thanks
12:13 "THE ARKENSTONE!!!"
Aussie and Ethiopian opals make diamonds look like a joke.
Diamonds are overrated
Good
Đẹp quá tuyệt vời nha
Śliczne
Opals also known as Elf stones along with moonstones. Thought to contain the personallity of its owner were Treasured and kept to heighten Dex and Charisma.
Opals are truly magical and very beatiful! I hope I'll get one for myself as I'm a libra! I didn't know the major difference about their origins, that some are basically fossils, whilst the others are from volcanic erruptions!
The other important thing about opals, the ones that are made artificially, are the best way to contain radioactive waste; it's less expensive and more efficient! It's still a work in progress and it's still being seen as a ridicule by most... I guess it will take time until deeper research is made to prove it... the process isn't hard to understand and to be used...
I'm not sure if it's just me, but whenever I check up the diversity of such gorgeous gems, I'm drawn to compare them with sunflowers!
-they both react to light, to the Sun;
-they display emotions like us; opals react to the moisture of skin by changing color as some have speculated, giving the feeling as being alive, whilst sunflowers being plants are also thought to display emotions and reactions;
-both sunflowers and opals can be and are very complex; many variants;
-opals show complexity by changes of colors, sunflowers have many genes, almost the same amount of genes as us humans (unique in the flora... mysterious and unknown why that is...);
-both show beauty through sacred geometry play (sunflowers display the golden angle...);
-both are best used to purify; opals and sunflowers can purify radioactive land contamination...
-they're both symbols of hope, of holiness, magical, uplifting moods...
These are the things that I found they have in common and I just find this interesting to add...
Well said ☺️
Which cantre this opal
Gorgeous Opals. They are fragile. My Opal earrings…. My Budgie picked it out of the setting, lol! My ring, I broke a piece off getting it caught in a door. I love them but I’m too rogue. ✌️❤️
