I love opals because they contain the colors of the universe. No one is the same and every one can be a calidiscope of colors.

Opal has easily become my most beloved gemstone. Every twist and turn you see a new flash of extraordinary color!

I love opal because of all the beautiful colors it presents. The multiple colors also represent all of the chakras. I want a black opal for my girlfriends engagement ring we started dating in October so the opal is also representive of our anniversary!!!
Beauty of colour, the beauty of Earths creations. The magic light just capture your eye, and makes you smile, because from ordinary nobby shows up extraordinary stone. Opal can make anybody happy 🙂 would love to win this one. Cheers!
Fell in love with opals many years ago when my grandparents bought a pair of earrings for me which unfortunately got stolen
I love opals so much and now my little girls (5&2) love them. One calls them ovals and the other calls them egg surprises. 🙂
Opals are beautiful. Especially black opal. Goal in life is to learn how to find and polish these beauties and other gems ??
Opals are my birthstone and I got my first one on my 6th birthday. I was fascinated by the array of colors and I loved the smooth surface. This fascination led me to get my first gem encyclopedia (for children of course ^_^) and to start my own semi-prescious stone collection. After all these years, opals are still my favorite gemstone. I love how no two are exactly alike in either color or pattern. They are each uniquely beautiful.
I love opals because it is the only stone that has a million sparkly colours and remind me of cosmic galaxies! So magical!
Opal is my stone of birth. The gem that encompases all gems. It’s beauty is that of color being born. Of fire and water combined.
Je suis fascinée par les opales car il n’y en a pas deux pareilles. Elles ont des couleurs magnifiques et des palettes merveilleuses d’harmonies. Elle mériterait de faire partie des pierres précieuses . Elles sont extraordinaires !
Opal is my son’s birthday, it fits perfect to his beautiful, mysterious, feirce, personality. I would love to wrap this into a beautiful necklace. ???

I have always been fascinated by opals because of their history. Looking at an opal is like looking into a rainbow. They are one of the best known and most popular of all phenomenal gemstones.
I don’t like them, I LOVE them!! No 2 are the same and each have their own mysterious personality that can match you on any given day. #blackopaldirect @blackopaldirect
Opals are fire and water blended in the same immortal transparency.
Their wonderful and mysterious color play are a language in itself.
Unique, unrivaled stones

Opal is a masterpeice created by God and it’s fire takes you on a journey that no other gemstone does.
I love opals! They are my favorite gemstone! Yours are the best! They are as individual as people.
Opal is mine and my Great-grandmother Elmi’s birthstone. And rightly so as Oct is also mysterious. They remind me of her.

I would love to win this because my mom and grandfather got me into loving opals amazing things so beautiful as opals and many other gems come from this earth. It’s my moms birth stone and having seen small jars of opals that my grandpa has that he got I believe in the early 70s from Australia. Just beautiful colors and fascinating. Sorry it’s more than 25 words, they are just amazing
Why choose a single-colour gemstone when you can choose opal with all the colours of the rainbow…? ❤️???

Black opal is magical to look at and sentimentally Australian. My favourite present as an 8 year old was opal earrings.
Opals are the most amazing gem in creation!
In our family Opals have ALWAYS been a tradition. My daughter, grandmother and I have jewelry all made from the same chunk of opal.
I imagine the opal is a gem congealed in the manner that hope does, that faith does, that forever promises do; like rainbows
after storms. <3
Its my 10 yr old daughter that holds the fascination! Can’t walk past jewellers without her stopping and getting lost in the stones beauty!
My 19 year old knew nothing about opals but saw one and fell in love. It’s beauty and fire is a sight to behold.
A diamond is a girls best friend. A dog is mans best friend. An opal is your true love.
They are just all around amazing stones! I started collecting them last year and fell in love holding my first one!!! Thanks for the chance! 🙂
Opals have a mystical beauty like no other & the colors are elemental. My love for Opals is the reason I started making jewelry.
I love these Lightning Ridge Opals because even if one peak’s at you it’s luster and mystery pulls you deeper, and when they just open up to you the array of colors can bring gasps, and move with an inner life of their own,
I love opal because they are (in my opinion) natures greatest masterpiece, whilst a product of fortuitous geological circumstance and anthropogenic craftsmanship.
Opals are FABOO!!! ???????
Opals flirt with my senses and romance my soul
