01.01.2022 **FUN FACT FRIDAY** Did you know?... The Virgin Rainbow opal glows in the dark - Opals are gems made from silica. Theyre transparent, but their internal structure refracts light at all angles. The result looks like a rainbow explosion inside the stone, and also allows them to appear to change colour depending on the light. The dimmer the light the more the Virgin Rainbow glows!
