Opal gold is not a term that is used commonly but has its merits when talking about the color gold in the pattern of opal. The color gold is very rare in opal and is not seen very often in Lightning Ridge. Gold color in opal is usually found in light or grey opal and also black opal. The gold color is half way between orange and green. The way the color gold is formed is not known but is a fact that the size of the silica spheres being stacked evenly and having a certain size can make the difference between different colors.
Opal that is set in gold is the best type of precious metal to be designing opal jewelry. Precious opal is really worth wile spending the money on getting a jeweler to design the gem opal piece in gold, since the opal is worth it.
Opal does not come in the metal form of gold; it is just a term used for the color that opal can hold in its color play and pattern.
Gold opal is mainly found in lightning Ridge in Australia but is enough to say that the color gold in opal is one of the rarest colors in the opal spectrum.
