Opal can be colorless, white, black, pink, orange and highly iridescent. The stone is transparent to translucent and has a glass to resinous luster. Different types exist, often depending on colour, for example: hyalite (colorless), cacholong (white), fire opal (orange with pearly shine), precious opal (highly iridescent), Andean opal, girasol opal and chrysopal. Dendrite opal has inclusions and is also known as merlinite.
