Video insights

@bit_wonder's TikTok video "Why Opals Flash Every Color 🎧 Why do opals flash every color? Inside are tiny balls of silica stacked in neat rows, and the rows bounce back just one color, set by the size of the balls and the angle you look from. A black opal in a gold ring turns under a lamp, then the camera dives into the stone: balls about 150 to 300 nanometers wide, small ones flashing blue and the biggest red, the most prized color. Every patch is its own tilted grid, so the whole stone lights up like a mosaic. And opal isn't only on Earth: NASA found it on Mars in 2008.
