About Opal
Are You Purchasing Opal? Would you like to Know More about Opal?

The stone itself can display a remarkable amount of colors and effects that have delighted its viewers and wearers since ancient times. At GemSelect our Opal comes in a variety of forms like faceted stones, cabochons, beads, doublets, fancy cut sculptures, and beyond.
Why is Opal Often Cut Cabochon?
Opal is traditionally cut in a cabochon because the rounding and polishing of the stone can increase its natural beauty. It is a fact that some Opal is stunning with its intrinsic properties brought out by naturally cutting and polishing. However, some stones need a little more assistance to unlock their full potential like the Black Opal that often gets smoked, among others which undergo treatment to appear most divine.
