Moss Opal: Buy Moss Opal Gemstones at Affordable Prices

The name opal was probably derived from Sanskrit "upala", meaning "valuable stone". Moss opal belongs to the category of "common opal", which is opaque, rarely translucent, and typically exhibits no play of color. Precious opals display rainbow-like hues that change with the angle of observation. Moss opal is a milky white opal with unique inclusions of green hornblende in moss-like patterns. They are also often traded under marketing names, such as 'dendritic opal' or 'tree agate'. Moss opals are mostly offered as opal cabochons and are best suited for earrings, brooches, and pendants. Other types of opals that are trade with matrix or host rock (e.g., boulder opal and opal in matrix) are more durable and are better suited for rings. Even though opals are quite fragile, they are still one of the world's most popular jewelry gemstones.

There is a long standing belief in the healing power of opal. It is reported to be able to relieve depression and to help its wearer find true love.

Opal is one of the official birthstones for those born in October.

I am of the opinion that the company gem select cares about the product beautiful gems it sells and the cost of the gem I purchased was small i was treated as if it cost a lot of money and product was described in detail and i felt good about the little stones i had ordered.

I did not realize how small the stone was. I cannot use it for the project I wanted, but I am keeping the stone and tru to use it in something else.

I was looking for ammolite for my husband. Other websites are not always clear about whether they have genuine ammolite or simulated ammolite. I have purchased from GemSelect before and trust that the stones are genuine. Finding the stones I want is easy, and I love all of the search filter options!

Everthing about researching and ordering from Gemselect was easy and uncomplicated. In the past I had payment problems, but your customer rep, Thomas, helped me get everything right. I will continue using Gemselet in the future for these reasons.

I have used this site for sseveral years now. All has been great. I started collection gems from GemSelect for years and wanted to collect at least one of most stones. I loved Safers because the mols is a 9 + and they come in every color. This is the best place to buy gems for the assortment and price. Great place to learn about gems too. Sometimes the shipping is a little on the long side. But I would give them a 9.9 out of 10 !!

Fantastic dealer for quality gemstones. Website is easy to navigate, selection is superb, delivery of purchases is prompt. Easy to select incorrect payment options, however.
