All our precious Australian opals look better in real life.
The colours of a precious opal are made by the diffraction of light
This is why the nature of a source of light will affect the colours displayed by an opal.
Different colours will appear under different lights.
Different colours can also sometimes appear when moving or rocking the opal .
To photograph opal is a very difficult and technical process.
For these reason, all possible colours are not always captured by our digital camera.
Please note also that the resolution of your display will also affect how clear or bright
the opals will appear on your monitor
