White opal is a precious gemstone known for its unique play of color, which can display a range of hues including red, blue, green, and yellow. This opal variety is characterized by its light body tone, often appearing white or cream, and is formed from silica gel that has hardened over millions of years. The beauty of white opal makes it a popular choice for jewelry, especially in rings and pendants. Unlike some other opals, white opals typically have a more subtle color display, making them versatile for various styles and occasions.
