Western Australian Opalite: a harder form of opal known for its dendritic branching throughout.  Opal was formed many millions of years ago, when silica and water flowed into cracks \u0026amp; spaces in the ground. This then gradually hardened and solidified to become opal. It is an amorphous form of silica. Usually the water content is 6% to 10%. Opal's internal structure makes it diffract light, depending on the conditions in which during its formation. If the tiny silica spheres that make up the Opal have aligned so that the spheres are uniformed and form a dimensional structure grid, it can take on many colors \u0026amp; has “play of color” associated with precious opals. When there is no alignment of uniform silica spheres it is still considered Opal (or Opalite) but there is no flash of color and therefore called common Opal. Opal is the national gemstone of Australia, which produces 97% of the world's supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*PLEASE NOTE: To bring a real sparkle to the gems in the above pictures - wet them to show off their true colors, this can be achieved easily with water, hair lacquer, varnish or polishing. \u003cbr\u003e*NOTE - These stones can be sharp and may cut the skin, take care in handling them - not for small children without adult supervision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor overseas customers we will remove a small weight of these to keep your costs just under the 1kg mark including packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-AU\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eGemstones:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eWe are happy to combine shipping (automatic on our direct website \u0026amp; by request before paying on eBay)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: SimSun;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: SimSun;\"\u003eImportant Information About Our Gems, Minerals \u0026amp; Fossils\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: SimSun;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"15\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: SimSun;\"\u003eAbout Our Specimens\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAll items and gem names are described as accurately as we believe.
