To bring out its captivating colours, the opal undergoes a sugar treatment—a process where the stone is soaked in a sugar solution, then heated in acid to darken the matrix. This enhances the opal's natural brilliance, creating a stunning contrast that showcases its radiant hues. The result is a breathtaking gem that’s as unique as the landscape it hails from. \u003cstrong\u003eSugar treating is only done on Matrix opal. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Choose Andamooka Treated Matrix Opal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Iona Opal Australia, we are committed to authenticity and ethical practices.
