Australian gems are commonly referred to as "opals." Australia is renowned for its production of opals, particularly high-quality opals with vibrant colors and unique patterns.
Opals are gemstones that form from silica deposits in sedimentary rocks. They are prized for their iridescent play of colors, which can include hues of blue, green, red, yellow, and orange, often shimmering and changing with the angle of light. This phenomenon is known as "play-of-color" and is what makes opals so visually striking and valuable.
Australia produces around 95% of the world's opal supply, making it the leading source of these gemstones globally. Some of the most famous opal mining areas in Australia include Coober Pedy and Mintabie in South Australia, as well as Lightning Ridge in New South Wales.
Each region produces opals with distinct characteristics and colors, contributing to Australia's reputation as a major player in the gemstone market.
