Instead, it's created as light passes through microscopic spheres of silica that formed naturally within the gemstone over millions of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpals have fascinated people for thousands of years. The Romans prized them above nearly every other gemstone, believing they combined the beauty of all colored gems into one.
