Opal has been treasured throughout history from the early Aztecs and Romans to Queen Victoria, who loved opals so much that she gave them away as wedding presents. They have adorned the crowns of the Holy Roman Emperor, and are set in the crown jewels of France. Josephine was given an opal with brilliant red flashes called ?The Burning of Troy? by Napoleon. Roman historian Pliny described the beauty of opals as the combination of the beauty of all gems.
?Natures Fireworks? and ?The Queen of Gems? are some of the superlatives that have been used to describe opal. The word itself ? ?opal? ? may have several origins and differing suggestions as to its first use: One is that it comes from a Sanskrit worrd ?upala,? simply meaning ?precious stone.? Another is that the Romans knew it by different names
? ?opthalmus,? from the Greek word for ?eye,? and ?paederes,? meaning both ?child and ?favourite.? Whatever the actual name origin; opal has been a favoured, valued stone throughout a long period of history.
