Opal comes in a variety of colors and gets its name from the Roman word opalus and from the Greek word opallios meaning to see color change. Black Opal is most often found in Lightning Ridge, Australia. This gorgeous gemstone is the most sought after and rarest type of Opal. The base color is usually black, brown or gray and has a fantastic color play of all the colors of the rainbow when you look at the stone from different angles. There are also other types of opals such as green, pink etc and the wonderfully beautiful fire opal. Fire Opal is named for its strong sun yellow and orange yellow color. Fire opal is a slightly strange type of opal considering that this stone has minimal color play like other opals. Fire opals have been highly valued in America and the Aztec Indians called this stone Quetzalitzlipyollitili or gemstone of the bird of paradise. For the Aztec Indians, the fire opal was a strong symbol of love and lust.
