Love at first sight.

Opal is Australia's national gemstone, a stone famous across the world for its mysterious and brilliant colours. In Indigenous narratives, a rainbow created the colours of the opal when it touched the earth.
Opal, also known to Indigenous people as the fire of the desert, is a powerful symbol of Australia's outback spirit.
Australia is home to the world's highest quality, precious opal. The most famous is black opal from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. Black opal has a colour palette of red, orange, green, blue, magenta and yellow against a dark background.
