It forms through precipitation of silica-rich water into cavities and voids, and what separates common opal from precious opal is simply the absence of play of colour; the composition is identical. Opal contains between three and twenty-one percent water within its structure, which is unusual among gem materials. Brown, yellow, white, green, and blue all occur in common opal, with colour arising from trace mineral content. No treatment is applied. Opal has been worn since Roman times, and Pliny the Elder wrote about it admiringly enough that it was regarded in antiquity as among the most complex and beautiful of all stones. Common opal is sourced from Australia, Brazil, Mexico, the USA, and Ethiopia; the supplier states this material as Madagascan. \u003cem\u003eOpal holds water within its structure, and losing it causes fine surface cracking known as crazing. Keep it away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, very dry air, and sudden temperature changes. Do not soak it or leave it in water, and clean with a soft damp cloth rather than by immersion.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
