FAQ Answer What are "Laboratory Grown" gemstones and how do they differ from natural gemstones? Laboratory grown gemstones are the same material and chemical composition as natural gemstones. The difference is, they are grown in a laboratory instead of in the ground. Why do we use laboratory grown? Several reasons... Quality, cost, consistency and availability. Natural gemstones are limited in where they can be mined and the quality varies from site to site. The prices vary widely based on availability, and the consistency varies all the time. Laboratory grown gemstones are less costly, more consistent in quality and more readily available. The benefit to you is... They look Better and cost LESS! The word "Opal" for this dynamic gemstone was derived from the Greek word "opallus" which means to see a change in color. And also Opal takes its name from the Latin word Upala meaning precious stone. Since the 14th century, people believed it to be the "king of gems" because an opal holds within its fire all the colors of the rainbow. According to legend, the wearer of an opal will be urbane and courteous and protected from the wrath of others. The stone was also reputed to make its owner invisible to foes and thereby exempt from misfortune. The Arabs believed that opals fell from heaven in flashes of lightning. Ancient Greeks also believed the opal had the power of giving foresight and the light of prophecy to their owners. Cleopatra is said to have worn an opal to attract the attention of Mark Anthony. Black opal has been regarded as an exceptionally lucky stone. As the birthstone for October, the opal stands for hope. Opal is symbolic of faithfulness and confidence.
