As a result we have opals scattered around the house, we even use some rocks with opals as bookends.</p><p>Here is some of my opal jewellery:</p><p>An Australian harlequin opal ring made for my mother from my grandparents&#039; wedding rings, it was made so both their names and the date are still seen on the inside:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]122269[/ATTACH]</p><p>It has extreme flashes of colour and pattern changes with every little move you make. What looks like scratches are actually natural turquoise-coloured lines which are impossible to photograph.

The background colour of chameleon opals changes slightly under different circumstances, hence the name. These ones go from milky white to creamy yellow and to a light tea colour.</p><p>The surrounding stones are Ceylon sapphires.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]122272[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
