Formation of percious opal:For at least 500 million years of its geological history, Australia was embedded in the ancient southern super-continent of Gondwana. At this time an inland sea covered central Australia, and silica-laden sediment deposited around its shoreline. It's believed that perhaps 30 million years ago, lots of silica was released into a solution which filled cracks in the rocks, layers in clay, and even some fossils. Some of them became precious opals.
Growth time for percious opal: It takes about 5 to 6 million years to make a 1 cm opal to mature.
Special Optical Effect:Iridescent Effect, or rainbow effect. It's an optical effect exhibit by some gems, in which it shows rainbow colours under white light, the colour will changed when the stone rotate. In precious opal, this rainbow effect is cause by the arrangement of the silica sphere. with the diameter size around 150 to 400 nm and tidy arrangement, that causes diffraction of white light and interference, thus create the rainbow colours. Not every type of opal will show iridescence, for those exhibit this rainbow effect is "precious opal".
