Synthetic Opal Sparks Global Debate In Jewelry Market

Geneva AP Pierre Gilson, a French industrialist, says his laboratory made opal could let women wear jewelry without ruining husbands. The Australian opal industry fears cheaper man made stones will cut exports worth about 50 million annually and worries about fake stones selling as natural. Gilson notes uniformity of synthetic opals, ability to certify lab origin, and fluorescence differences. He claims production costs place stones at 40 to 400 per carat, with Australian pricing possibly below natural opals at 4000 to 6500 per carat. He reports ten years of R&D and one year per stone. Natural opal colors arise from light diffraction in silica spheres. Both stones share silica and water composition.
