This fairly rare opal was named after the country, as the only source found is in the Andes mountains. Peruvian opal does not have the same kind of fiery play of light as other opals, but it does still possess a beautiful iridescent quality. Blue is the most common color of Peruvian opal, often being compared to that of the Caribbean Sea, and can contain black dendritic inclusions.
