About Opal-AG

Name:
A stands for amorphous and G for gel-like.

A variety of Opal-A

A type of Opal consisting of aggregated spheres of amorphous silica, with water filling the gaps in between. Precious Opal and Potch Opal consist of this kind of structure - the difference being in the regularity of the sizes of the spheres and packing.
    ——— Opal-AG: (Amorphous-Gel) (contains closely packed amorphous silica spheres, which at times form a diffraction grating to create precious opal). Since the packing of the spheres is similar to the structure of a gel, the subscript G ("gel-like") has been added (Flörke et al, 1991; Graetsch, 1994).
