Highlights
The name Opal has long been thought to have derived from the Latin word ‘Opal us’ meaning ‘precious stone’, and the Greek ‘Opal lios’ meaning ‘to see a change in color’. However, these two words are themselves derived from the older Sanskrit word ‘upala’.
Opal was long thought to be the most precious of gems because it harboured the colors of many other revered gemstones. Fine quality specimens will shine with a whole rainbow of hues that bring to mind many other sought after jewels.

This eye-catching gem has weaved a path through history, leaving an impression on many cultures and civilisations across the globe. Fire Opal was discovered in South America at least 6,000 years ago and was coveted by the indigenous peoples. The Aztecs worshipped the gem and named it ‘quetzalitzlipyollitli’, meaning the ‘stone of the bird of paradise’.
In Ancient India and Ancient Persia, Fire Opal was admired as a symbol of ardent love; Ancient Greeks saw the stone as a talisman that protected against disease, and Arabian legends tell a story of how Opals fall to earth from the heavens during lightning storms.
The Romans delighted in the colors of Opal, using the gemstone as a way to boast about their wealth and status, and they sourced their Opals from mines beyond their borders in eastern Europe. The Roman general Mark Antony wanted to give Cleopatra of Egypt an Opal as a mark of their relationship, and approached a fellow general, called Nonius, with an offer to buy his impressive stone. Rather than sell it, Nonius fled Rome and left behind his home and most of his possessions. He got to keep his Opal, though!
Opal was so valuable to the Romans that one Roman Emperor is said to have offered up one third of his entire kingdom in exchange for a single stone. William Shakespeare mentioned Opal as ‘a miracle’ and coined the term ‘queen of gems’ in his play Twelfth Night, which he wrote between 1601 and 1602. The French emperor Napoleon offered a reported 700 carat Opal to his first wife Josephine, known as ‘The Burning of Troy’ because of its vibrant red flashes. Whilst the stone is so well documented that it is generally accepted to have been a real gem, it sadly hasn’t been seen or heard about since Josephine passed away in 1814.
For all the positive attributes associated with Opal over the years, there were some negative ones too. Opals can dry out if they’re not treated with care (read on for Opal care and cleaning), and this can lead to the stone going dull; in extreme cases, Opals can also crack, known as crazing. Before the science of Opal was fully understood, this dulling and crazing led many to conclude that Opal was a harbinger of bad luck.
