Australian rough opal in host sandstone, from my father's collection
Just a very small Ethiopia opal ( approx diameter 2 to 3 mm ) . The opal is translucent and when the light hits right all kind of colours flash from within .
Opal is a hydrated amorphous form of silica; its water content may range from 3 to 21% by weight, but is usually between 6 and 10%. Because of its amorphous character, it is classed as a mineraloid, unlike crystalline forms of silica, which are classed as minerals. It is deposited at a relatively low temperature and may occur in the fissures of almost any kind of rock, being most commonly found with limonite, sandstone, rhyolite, marl, and basalt. Opal is the national gemstone of Australia.

Nikon D850 photo. Amazing camera and yet more megapixels (46+)!
~6 x 5.5 x 0.75 cm. 216 Ct. (1.4 oz., 40 g). Opal Butte, Ore. A fantastic play of deep color and light. This is a stable gem, shaped, polished, and slightly beveled on the outer edge of both sides..
This is the Little North Fork Santiam River. But it is in the Opal Creek wilderness and Little North Fork Santiam River is too long of a title for a river :) This spot is probably packed with swimmers in the hot days of summer. But we were the only people there last saturday-
For this two shot stitch, I was standing in the river up to my knees. Brian has a shot of me getting this comp.
Happy thursday ladies and gentlemen!

Here's a long exposure of the waterfalls right above Opal Pool in the Opal Creek Wilderness in Oregon. A 3 mile hike takes you from the Opal Creek Trailhead along a service road to the nearly abandoned mining town of Jawbone Flats. Another 1/3 of a mile past the town an you drop into a beautiful shade covered area of dark green trees and pristine emerald green/blue waters. Truly one of earth's marvels.

My 21 month old daughter Opal playing in the snow with her five year old sisters snowboard. She'll be riding pow before I know it. : )
The western Outback town of Quilpie, Queensland is in an opal producing region. In this area, it is mostly of the boulder opal type which although often being displayed still in the surrounding rock contains beautiful colours and can still be quite valuable.
I love opal as it is really Australia's gemstone and is mined at quite a few sites throughout the country. I have placed a link below for those interested in reading more. The photo doesn't really show the true beauty of this opal, you will probably see closer shots of the various types in the links below.
As promised, today was going to be religious and here we are in Quilpie's Roman Catholic Church, St. Finbarr's. Of particular interest here is that the front of the Altar and the Lectern on the left are covered in boulder opal from the region. This is a more modern church building than the C of E church in today's series.

Opal is one of the four major features in Yellowstone's Midway Geyser Basin. Although it looks like a peaceful spring, in fact on very rare occasions it erupts, briefly and modestly. The rest of the time its beauty rests quietly.

The Opal is the gemstone for October, though if you are born after the 24th you can also call the Topaz your gemstone. www.blackstaropal.com/
Opal from Mintabe, Australia. A very small piece; a mineral dealer was kind enough to give it to me for free at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
