Does Brazil produce precious opal suitable for jewelry?
Actually, we don’t get asked this question very often for the simple reason that few people know that Brazil produces opal at all, even though reports of it have surfaced on and off for over a century! We asked the question ourselves so we could share this industry secret with all of you. The answer is: Yes! And not just one kind, but at least six types that are eminently suited for jewelry, although none of them is available in large quantities.
