Description: Yellow opal is a radiant variety of common opal known for its warm, sunny hues ranging from pale lemon to rich golden honey. It often exhibits a soft, milky translucence and a smooth, waxy luster that gives it a gentle, glowing appearance. Unlike precious opals, yellow opal does not display the famous “play-of-color” flashes, but it is celebrated for its consistent warmth and calming aesthetic. Found in locations such as Australia, Peru, and Brazil, yellow opal is often cut into cabochons or beads for jewelry, where its cheerful color adds a touch of brightness and optimism.
Fun Fact: In ancient times, yellow opal was thought to capture the energy of the sun. Some cultures carried it as a talisman for good luck during travel, believing its warm color would protect the wearer from harm and attract positive opportunities along the way.
