Opal is the world's most popular phenomenal gemstone, with many cultures believing that opals have supernatural origins and power. Inside each opal, sub-microscopic spheres are stacked in a grid-like pattern — similar to a layer of ping pong balls. When light strikes these spheres, the light waves bend and break into spectral colors, producing a flash of rainbow colors known as play of color. These marquise cabochons display a translucent white background with medium to strong play-of-color in blue, green, and red, making them a striking choice for custom jewelry settings.
