Opals are a type of mineral. Opals can be found in Mexico, Brazil, Honduras, and the western United States of America. Most gemstones normally have a power that people believe in. Opals are believed to have healing powers due to the fact that they are also believed to be the tears of god. Opals can come in many different colours such as rainbow, blue, fire, black, clear, pink, and so on. These can be used in jewellery and you can even buy them on there own.

Without being polished, opals just look like any other rock. Some of them show a little but shine through a bit.
