The mesmerizing beauty of natural opals is replicated in Aurora opal, a man-made, lab-created opal that offers improved consistency and durability. Aurora opals are designed to exhibit a continuously bright and dynamic play of color, in contrast to natural opals, which can fluctuate in appearance and may be prone to shattering. While its ethical origin attracts to environmentally aware consumers, this gem's toughness makes it ideal for everyday wear. Aurora opals are a popular and affordable option for jewelry enthusiasts who value sustainability and beauty since they maintain the alluring bursts of color found in natural opals at a fraction of the price.
