Lab Created Jelly Opal
Lab created Jelly Opal
Jelly opals, also called water opals, are unique gemstones with a gelatinous appearance unavailable from other variants. These gemstones are also known as girasol opal, jelly fire opal, or jelly mineraloids.
Jelly opals naturally have a play-of-color that moves across each stone, unlike other options with color patches at one location in the gemstone. These gemstones usually produce a distinct red, blue, or shiny yellow glimmer.
Many jewelers prefer lab created jelly opals due to their transparent interior and absence of impurities. These opals can also form cabochons and are affordable.

How are Lab Created Jelly Opals Made?
Lab-made jelly opals form after precipitating silica, allowing it to settle and align, and then fill them with a binder. The binder hardens and forms a structure that can diffract light. Kyocera produces Jelly opals to be much harder than natural or other synthetic variants.
