Green opal is considered a semiprecious stone, one of the most beautiful that humanity uses. He also has another name - chrysopal. The first who discovered and described this stone was Pliny, but he could not give an accurate description of it, since it has many shades. In fact, opal is not quite a stone, because it does not have the crystalline structure that almost all gems have.
Chrysopal is a mineral formation of organic origin. Its composition is similar to amber, pearls and coral. The most interesting variant of this stone is green opal (burrowed), the rarest and most expensive specimen.
Description
The green apple opal has all the same qualities as the others. He is the strongest and most stable. If you rely on the Mohs scale (hardness is determined by it), then this mineral is estimated at 5/10 points. He got his color thanks to silicon, which is part of the composition. And depending on how much it is there, the shade of the stone may vary slightly. But it is not transparent to the light.
Basically it is processed so that it has an oval shape. And due to the fact that chrysopalum is considered semiprecious, it is sent to silver or other inexpensive materials. It is also used to decorate caskets, small figurines and other interior items. From the Greek language its name is translated as “color-changing”, and from Sanskrit “gem”.
Its color is striking in its diversity, as well as various impregnations.
The mineral consists of silicon dioxide and water, and depending on how much water it contains, opal will be so transparent. If it comes into contact too often with water, it will only destroy the mineral. Over time, it can crumble.
Green opal has many different shades. One of the varieties is called lehos - opal (opalite). It can be found in Tanzania. It contains the smallest inclusions. Can be found in Peru, but not bright green, but with a blue tint. Also found in Australia.
