OPALS!

Recently, I have become fond of opals. Opal is the national gemstone in Australia, it is also very soft. I accidentally hand crushed an opal while handling it, and it completely broke my heart. The most alluring part about opals are the range of colours. This particular effect we call "play of colour" which can only be seen in opals. Check out some examples below, including some of my latest work!
