TREATMENT

Man-made simulated opals are manufactured in two ways. Man made opal has the same physical and chemical properties as naturally mined opal. Some opals are cut from opaline silica grown in a laboratory, taking over a year to grow and come into their colors. This slow growth results in a similar structure and material balance as natural precious opals, but with increased durability and structural stability. Gilson opals contain approximately 70-75% silica (similar to natural opal) within a trade secret base of translucent plastic or resin. Simulated opals do not contain water like natural opals do–making them less vulnerable to changes in temperature, humidity and heat.
