Opal
Because opal has the colors of other gems, the Romans thought it was the most precious and powerful of all. The Bedouins believed that opals contained lightning and fell from the sky during thunderstorms. Australia’s mines began to produce opals commercially in the 1890s.
Most Opals origin from either Australia or Ethiopia
 
The scales are 100% genuine awabi shell on a white backing and covered with a durable topcoat of industrial resin making them very sturdy, maintenance free and at the same time protecting the shell.
 
It's very difficult to accurately capture the exact colors of the scales because shell is very iridescent and changes hue at every angle. 
 
Awabi (Abalone) are fist-sized sea snails that live in the sea around Japan at a depth of approximately twenty meters. They are usually caught by skin divers, as it is prohibited to catch awabi while using air tanks in Japan in order to prevent overfishing. Given their declining numbers and the effort required to catch them, awabi are rare and expensive, especially big ones. It takes five years for them to grow to a size of four inches. Awabi (abalone) are very precious food in Japan.
