water opal

Water opal is a type of opal that is the birthstone for October. It refers to opal that shows a play-of-color effect on a colorless or milky background, and is transparent enough to read the text placed underneath. When exposed to light, the vivid play of colors that emerge from the highly transparent ground color is very mysterious.
