Opal is an alternate birthstone for those born in April and October. One of my favourite gems. My price is determined by what I had to pay. Some I have had for decades.

Better gems and jewelry items are kept in bank vault for security purposes and retrieving an item can cause a slight shipping delay.

Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment.
Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.
Some people will never understand why people buy an original work of art when they can buy a poster for next to nothing.
Earth mined gems are for those that do. Invest in quality.
