False Colors.
The opal has no color in I ho |
sense of pigmentation. To hrcak j
open an opal in order to observe
its hues would be the equivalent
to killing the goose lhal laid the
golden eggs. Neither golden eggs
or rainbow hues would he found. !
Opal consists of hydrated sili
ca. II is not uniform in texture.
If the word surface may he used
for interior conditions, il might
be said lhal I he opaline silica
is in the form of surfaces and
layers that lie compactly against
|one another. These layers refract
the light at various angles, giv-1
ing forth the colored Hashes in
the same way lhal a pure crystal
prism refracts the colors of the
spectrum. Technically speaking,
these layers of silica are said to
possess a ditlere.nl index ot re
fraction from, that of the matrix.
As the opal is moved the various
layers break the light into colors,
which change, of course, accord
ing to the position of the stone,
i The iridescence of nacre, or
mother-of-pearl, is also a matter
of form not actual color. In fact,
all “changeable" colors are more
or less the result of form even
where there is pigmdnlation !»•*
neath, such as in certain ribbed
silks. When sunlight bears di
rectly upon llnely ribbed metal, as
a Hie, there is the same play of
colors.
In the case of mollicc-ol-pcarl
Ian interesting experiment lias
: been made. An impression of the
j pearl was taken upon pure white
wax. II was then found that lh"|
apparently smooth surface of Ihej
pearl bad si ill sufficient irregu
