opal
This term refers to a specific mineraloid prized for its iridescent optical properties. In jewelry and gemology, it is often distinguished by the "play of color," a phenomenon where light diffracts through internal silica spheres to create shifting hues.
While primarily used as a noun for the gemstone, the word is occasionally used as an adjective to describe a milky, iridescent color or a specific shade of pale, shimmering white.
