Opal are precious stones that’s considered mineraloid with colors of white, pale yellow, pale red, gray or black or sometimes colorless, but the reflection of light can cause flashes of any color of the rainbow. Opal has been a popular gem for many centuries since the Roman times and today, it is often imitated, forged and enhanced.
