What is fairy opal? Fairy opal refers to a natural organic gem that is Australian sandstone with trace sprinkles of opal growing throughout, this occurs naturally as a product of nature. The sandstone acts as the "matrix" or base rock from which the opal gem grows, due to the amount being only a dusting it creates a contrast with the space black host rock and the galactic colours of the opal.
The gem has been stabilised meaning it is treated with a surface layer of a natural sugar to act as a polished surface so that one can enjoy the gem, this treatment is stable and shouldnot have any issues, the treatment is done common to fariy opal/opalised sandstone.
