Opal Specimens

An opal specimen is a piece of natural opal that can be used for display or collection. Rough opal specimens are unprocessed and solid segments which can be polished slightly to enhance their appearance.

The Allure of Opal Specimens

Opals are a striking gemstone whose beauty comes from the dazzling play of colours that occurs when it is exposed to light. The colour play occurs due to the diffraction of light off the silica spheres inside the raw opal stone.

Each opal has a unique appearance and will reflect light differently. The patterns and colours are shaped by the amount of silica particles that are naturally present in the opal. From vivid blues and greens to fiery reds, discover the allure of Volle’s range of opal specimens today.
