  The special characteristic of these gems is their opalescence, a rainbow-like iridescence which changes with the angle of observation. No two are alike. Opals are in a class by themselves. No other stone has such a rich folklore. (They have been considered both the luckiest and unluckiest gems to own). More than any other gemstone, each opal is distinctly individual. As a gem species, opal is so unique it has its own descriptive vocabulary. Opals are also the most delicate gems commonly worn and require special care.
