My Wedding rings in the crystal ring caddy. I chose Opal as the central stone in my engagement ring for a reason. Opal is my birthstone, (happily) and I think that Opals are the most beautiful of all of the precious gems. They may contain all of the colours of all of the others gems in one fantastic stone. Their play of colour, flash and fire are what make them special to me. The rarest type of Opal is the Black Opal. It is mined in only one place in the world: Lightning Ridge, NSW, Australia. It is carat per carat more valuable and expensive than any diamond. I love Opals, and am fortunate enough to have a few. :) Aren't they pretty?
