If you are not aware of the phenomenon known as the play of colors, well, it is an optical effect because of which precious opals display changing hues. These changing hues (or colors) appear to float inside the stone. This phenomenon creates flashes of orange, red, blue, and green colors. Common opals, on the other hand, showcase a subtle optical illusion known as opalescence. In opalescence, light hits alternating layers of the microstructure of common opal, which creates a shimmering, bluish-whitish color.
