If the microscopic spheres that form opal are neatly stacked and are uniform in shape and size, they are called precious opals – they will diffract light. While the common kind has different sizes and shapes of spheres and a non-uniform arrangement. With a hardness of 5.5-6 on the Mohs scale, opal gemstone features a conchoidal to uneven fracture. These stones are usually found to be transparent, translucent, and opaque. It also displays a waxy luster when polished.
