Opals are semi-precious stones that are luminous and iridescent, frequently with multi-colored inclusions caused by entrained water ("fire"), and are finished as cabochon. Sources listed here include miners, individual lapidarists, and online retailers of opal gemstones and rough selling individual stones, or in small lots, online to the general public.
