PLAY OF COLOUR
The play of colour is what makes opals so special. It's the constant movement of colour and pattern as the stone is tilted and the light changes.
WHAT IS PLAY OF COLOUR?
When you move an opal around, the colours appear, disappear and change, creating a lively, ever-changing display that makes each opal unique. This is the play of colour.
COLOUR THAT MOVES
A good play of colour is essentially lots of movement within the colour and patterns. As you move the stone, the colours shift, flash and change, revealing new combinations from every angle.
