Pronounced "Oh-WAH-hee," this distinctive type of Blue Opal is found along the Owyhee River on the Oregon & Idaho state border.

One of the many members of the quartz family, opal, is hardened silica gel, usually containing 5-10% water in submicroscopic pores. Opal’s structure varies from essentially amorphous to partially crystalline. Precious opal is the least crystalline form, consisting of a regular arrangement of tiny transparent silica spheres with water in the intervening spaces. Opal’s name comes from Sanskrit upala, meaning “precious stone.”
