Opal is famed for its ability to diffract
light. The exact cause of opal's unique properties was only recently discovered
by Australian scientists in the 1960s after analysis with electron microscopes.
It was discovered that small spheres of silica gel caused interference,
refraction and diffraction of light, resulting in opal's distinctive play of
color. The varying refractive indices of the spheres and spaces between them
dissect the light on its passage through the stone. As light enters the opal,
it bends around the tiny particles or 'spheres' of hydrated silica, as well as
'chips' of silicon and oxygen suspended within the stone. Light is comprised of
all visible colors and can produce an entire spectrum of colors when it is
diffracted.
