Opal in Matrix is a beautiful multicolored stone with a black base color. Since it is often discovered and mined in Honduras is has earned the name ‘Honduras Black Opal.’ Opal in Matrix is cut in Cabochon to display the gorgeous multicolored effects for which it’s famous. The stone displays its remarkable color properties which are ‘essentially’ tiny flecks of opal that shine naturally brilliant colors. These Opal flecks are embedded randomly in the parent rock rather than the seams of opal that normally appear in ‘Boulder Opal.’ The fact that Opal appears in many forms in many parts of the world lead it to develop in different classes with individually unique qualities.

I bought from this website to see how it is. Im going to take the gems i bought to a gemologist to see if they are real to see if this website is legitimate
I have recently been updating some old jewelry and wanted to add gemstones to some of the pieces. I am amazed at the selection available at GemSelect and found exactly what I was looking for. The prices were very reasonable as well. I would definitely purchase from you again if I am in the market for gemstones again in the future.
Always a fantastic selection of gemstones in an affordable price range from inexpensive, nice collector's stones to high fashion jewelry pieces. I always trust that the item will be as represented. I purchased a kyanite today and know the stone will be genuine and high quality.
My only consideration for this particular purchase is that it is from a lot and I don't get to select the specific gem I want. However, I trust GemSelect and they all look good in the picture provided and are all the same approx. size and weight. My only real concern is the star in the star ruby, as I want one that is both clear and shapely.
An incredible selection of gemstones at a wide range of prices. Some fantastic cuts - unlike any I have seen anywhere. Ita's fun to look even if there is no intention to buy - if you can resist

I was just talking to the person that does beading yesterday and she was telling me about black opal beads and I opened your site and there they were.How wonderful.She will make the necklace for me.
Everything was well labeled and organized, lots of information for each product that lets you know it's legitimate. Huge selection, almost too easy to check out, I'll have to pay rent in rocks lol.
