Opal - Opals are usually white or light in body color with flashes of many other colors throughout, but black Opals are available as well. Opal sources are in Australia, Mexico and the USA. Opals should just be wiped clean with a soft cloth and should never be subject to an ultrasonic machine or jewelry cleaner. Ancient legends say the Opal will soothe away sadness and envy.
