Although it is a cryptocrystalline gemstone made of silica and water, it is not a single crystal. It gained its fame after diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds due to a special property: it is a collection of particles smaller than 0.1 microns, and the different sizes of these particles create a prismatic effect of various colors. Optically, it is a single gemstone that contains every color. The opal has been loved by European nobles and royalty since ancient Roman times. Its name originates from the ancient Sanskrit word *upala*, meaning "gemstone." It has been called the "gemstone of the rainbow," and Shakespeare honored it as the "queen of gems." It is said that Marcus Antonius, in an attempt to buy an opal ring from the senator Nonius to give to Cleopatra, was refused, and as a result, he had Nonius exiled. Pliny the Elder, an ancient Roman naturalist, praised it romantically in his *Natural History*, writing: "This stone possesses a fire softer than that of the carbuncle, the brilliant purple of the amethyst, and the sea-green of the emerald, all shining together in a marvelous blend. Its sparkle rivals the colors of a painter, or the flames of burning sulfur or oil." The opal that adorned the crown of the Holy Roman Emperor was given the specific name "Opalnus" by Albertus Magnus and was believed to protect the honor of the king. Queen Victoria of England always wore an opal and favored it as a lucky charm, often giving it as a gift to loved ones, which led it to be known as a stone that brings happiness and good fortune.
