Some of the more base opals ready are:

How to Tell One Opal from another

Black Opal

White Opal

Boulder Opal

Crystal Opal

Fire Opal

Matrix Opal

The Black Opal has a dark body tone which causes a glow of color unmatched by the other opal types. Black Opals are only mined at Lightning Ridge in New South Wales in Australia and thought about very rare and are the most expensive of all opals

White Opals, by discrepancy are practically cream and sometimes called a Milky Opal Being white they do not show the internal color so well as the black and are ordinarily purchased as white opals only. In an exquisite potential stone however there can still be seen some color flashing. These can be purchased relatively cheaply although a really good potential one can set you back a few hundred or thousand dollars.

Boulder Opals are separate again. These have a solid layer of brown ironstone on the back of the stone. They create from large ironstone bounders, hence the name, underground.

A Crystal opal can be the same as above but has a transparent or semi-transparent body tone which means you can see straight through the stone. Crystal opal can have a dark or light body tone hence, "black crystal opal" and "white crystal opal"

A Fire Opal is an American term and describes any opal which has a valuable amount of red coloring. Red is the rarest Color in opals, so these are quite valuable. Often confused with a 'Mexican fire opal' which is separate yet again and displays orange instead of red coloring.

A Matrix opal is where the opal occurs as a network of veins or infilling of voids or in the middle of grains of the host rock. A Matrix comprises costly opaline silica as an infilling of pore spaces in silty claystone or ironstone. The matrix opal shows a fine pinfire color in the natural state. Very rare also.
