Because of its place of origin, it has been called the “Andean” or “Peruvian” Blue Opal.Unlike other types of Opals, the Peruvian Blue has a high water content. Opals are also compared to the quartz family because both are formed with silicate minerals. The Blue Opal also differs from quartz as it does not crystalize.Andean Opal gemstones can come in different colors apart from the blue we commonly see. There are green, pink, turquoise, and even white or cream-colored Andean Opals.This Stone's Provenance Our Peruvian Blue Opal is a rare color opal from Arequipa State in southern Peru. It is mined in small hard rock mines in the high elevation desert west of the Andes. About Our Peruvian Blue Opal The varied hues of Peruvian blue opal, from light celadon green to the rare and highly sought after gem electric blue, have been appreciated since the time of the early Incas. It has only been in the last 20 or so years that this stone has been recognized worldwide and brought to the market as a beautiful gem in its own right. During this time, most of the blue opal was mined down to the depth where it turned white, and very little is coming from the mines today. The gem’s beautiful blue color is caused by submicroscopic inclusions of the secondary copper mineral chrysocolla, so this lovely gem does not occur below the oxidized zone of the earth’s crust, making for a very limited supply. According to gemological tests at G.I.A., the blue opal has the gemological properties of an opal (Gems and Gemology, Summer 1991, p. 121 and Winter 1991, p. 260). However, this opal never has play of color or "fire" like the Australian opals. Some translucent stones can have an adularescent glow. Attributes Hardness: 6 - 6.5, harder than many opals Refractive Index: 1.45 Specific Gravity: 2.15 Enhancements: (N) None, (D) Dye. Chalcedony and Calcite are also dyed to imitate blue opal. The Peruvian blue opal gems we offer are completely natural stones that have had no color enhancement or stabilization treatments. Translucent stones may milk in a desert climate, reacting to lower moisture levels, but will regain their translucency when returned to a moister climate. All of the stones offered here have been in a dry desert climate, so may become more translucent. Care: It is important to protect blue opal from temperature extremes and prolonged exposure to heat and direct sunlight, like in a hot car or display window. Due to the porous nature of opals, heavy perfumes or other chemicals, oils, and adhesives can also harm the stone or alter its color. Minimize exposure to these.
