2019精品强势推荐欧泊石

从历史来看，欧泊的价格从来没有自制过。一百多年前在澳大利亚发现欧泊矿之后，欧泊就一直是最名贵的宝石之一。在中国宝石学界，对欧泊的相识较量少，许多教科书上都把欧泊划在半宝石一类，这是大错特错的。欧泊一直是皇家、皇室专享的名贵宝石，由于它的产量希罕、色彩漂亮，都是其他宝石所不能相比的。

Historically, the price of opal has never been self-made. Opal has been one of the most precious gemstones since it was discovered in Australia more than 100 years ago. In China's gemmology circle, there is little acquaintance with opal. Many textbooks classify opal as semi precious stone, which is a big mistake. Opal has always been a precious gem exclusive to the royal family. Because of its rare output and beautiful color, it is incomparable with other gemstones.

欧泊的产地特征是很是显着的，现在天下上主要有三大产区：澳大利亚(生产澳洲黑欧泊、白欧泊)、非洲埃塞俄比亚(生产白欧泊)、美洲墨西哥(生产火欧泊)。

只管从化学分子式上，种种欧泊都是含水二氧化硅，但由于成因差异，非洲欧泊和澳洲欧泊从比重、外观、稳固性等方面来讲都完全差异。

The origin characteristics of opal are very significant. Now there are three major production areas in the world: Australia (producing black opal and white opal in Australia), Ethiopia (producing white opal in Africa) and Mexico (producing fire opal in America).

In terms of chemical formula, all kinds of opals are water-bearing silica. However, due to the difference in genesis, the proportion, appearance and stability of opals in Africa and Australia are totally different.

作为国际公认的与钻石、红蓝宝石等齐名的六大宝石之一，欧泊作为饰品在西方至少已经有2000年的历史了。英国伊丽莎白女王、维多利亚女王、拿破仑的约瑟芬皇后，丹麦王储王妃，都拥有名贵欧泊。据英国宝石学家里契曼所著的《欧泊》记载，欧泊在公元前200-100年期间就被用作珍贵宝石。在罗马帝国时代，欧泊的价值就已极高。公元之初的古罗马学者普林尼(Pliny)还记载过：罗马帝国元老院的元老诺尼有一块非常漂亮的欧泊，他非常喜爱，当时的统治者安东尼胁迫他献出来，否则就将他流放。可他视宝如命，宁可选择苦难的流放，也不肯把欧泊交出，欧泊的珍贵性可想而知。 

As one of the internationally recognized six gemstones with the same reputation as diamonds, rubies and sapphires, Opal has a history of at least 2,000 years as an ornament in the West. Britain's Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, Napoleon's Queen Josephine, and Denmark's Crown Prince and Princess all have expensive European berths. According to the book Opal written by Cheiman, a British gemologist, Opal was used as a precious gem from 200 to 100 BC. During the Roman Empire, Opal's value was already extremely high. Pliny, an ancient Roman scholar at the beginning of a.d., also recorded that the elder senator of the Roman empire, noni, had a very beautiful opal, which he loved very much. Anthony, the then ruler, coerced him to give it or he would be exiled. However, he regards treasure as his life and would rather choose exile in misery than surrender Opal. The preciousness of Opal can be imagined.

现今，欧泊更因同时具备矿物、宝石、化石三种属性，广泛被博物馆、收藏爱好者、科学家等所关注，成为近年来国际顶级矿物宝石展会的新宠。全球各大矿物宝石展会都以组织精品欧泊，作为吸引业界人士参展观展的卖点，如果您需要一个收藏重器或是镇馆、镇店之宝，那么收藏欧泊是不二选择。

Nowadays, opal is widely concerned by museums, collectors and scientists because of its three properties of minerals, gemstones and fossils. It has become a new favorite of the international top mineral gemstones exhibition in recent years. All the world's major mineral gemstone exhibitions take the organization of high-quality opal as the selling point to attract people from the industry to participate in the exhibition. If you need a heavy collector or treasure of town hall or town shop, then collecting opal is the best choice.
