Pink Opal

PINK OPAL

The name 'Opal' comes from the Greek word Opallios and the Roman word Opalus which both mean 'precious stone'. The famous anthropologist, Louis Leakey, during his researches in Kenya, discovered man-made artifacts with opal that are more than 6000 years old. This means that people crafted opals thousands of years before the Egyptian pyramids were built. Pastel colors of pink, green or blue opals are found in Peru and this is where pink opal at S&A collections comes from.
