With its striking iridescence and its variety of colors and patterns, the opal is one of the most unmistakable of gems. Its name comes from the Sanskrit word for jewel, and it lends itself to beauty in a way unlike any other gem. Micky Roof has a reputation for finding some of the finest opals in the world, from bright blue Australian opals, to deep viridian Ethiopian gems. These one-of-a-kind gems combine with once-in-a-lifetime designs for pieces that stand out and stun.
