About Light Opal
Light Opal was the first variety of opal to be recognised in ancient times, and today is found in all the opal fields in Australia. Coober Pedy in South Australia produces the most of this classical opal type. Light Opal is regarded by many traditions and even religions as a magical gem that represents the moon and purity.
Light Opal tends to be less flashy with its colour play than crystal or black opals, but the very best Light Opals can rival them all. Light Opal comes to life even in very low light making it perfect for evening jewellery.
