Gems are precious or semi precious stones and have high economic value. There are many types of gem stones like diamond, sapphires, rubies, emerald, pearls, corals, opal etc. The most colorful of all gems is the opal. Most opals are found in Australia and it is considered as the National Gemstone of Australia. The play of color changes whenever the opal is viewed in different angles. Such opals are called as precious opals. Opals can be found in many varieties. Some of them are black opal, white opal, blue opal, crystal opal, jelly opal, lemon opal, Mexican fire opal, cherry opal, precious fire opal, yellow opal and water opal.

There are different birthstones for every month and October opal means that the birthstone for people born in the month of October is rainbow colored opal.

Australian opal gemstone is very popular all over the world, and today Australia is the most important supplier of fine opal worldwide. Opal stones which is a symbol of happiness, hope and truth is called the Queen of gemstones.

The rarest and the most valuable of all Australian opals is the black opal, with dark blue, dark green or black background. This opal comes from Lightning Ridge Australia in New South Wales. White opal also known 'milky opal' has a white, cream, yellow colored body. This opal is more common than black opal. White opals are found in South Australia. The Mexican fire opal is a stunning orange-red colored gem and it is the National gem stone of Australia.

Another valuable gemstone is the diamond. Diamonds are used in many types of diamond accessories like rings, pendants, necklaces, watches etc. Have you heard of opal pearl? Well, it is not a gem as you think, but it is the name of marble used in construction.

Fire Opal Questions

Are large,high quality,fire opals,expensive to buy???

Why so??? and also ,what would say a 10 oz,super high quality fire opal stone cost from a jeweler???

Gems and minerals typically are expensive if they are rare to begin with (whether actual or artificual rarity), of good characteristic or clarity, flawless, of an unusual variety, or just plain interesting.

I'm not an expert on fire opal but prices on the open market for gems and minerals can vary wildely. I've seen dealers ask $120 for something that most people sell for $12 and $60 for something that can easily be had for $8. You really need to know your minerals to decide what is a fair price to pay.

You also need to decide if you want a rough specimen or a cut and polished specimen. Look around at a variety of places such as jewelry stores, eBay, fine gem and mineral dealers, and online rock shops to get an idea of prices.

I would like to buy a high quality,fire opal for about 500 dollars.How big would it be???

Also,what would that fire opal wiegh,being a 500 to 600 dollar stone.Thanks for your time and information.Tom Science 3

depends on the quality, but around 2 carats
