Opals are the superior stone and they actually look awsome. Transparent glass like stones are so boring. They are also much cheaper and not harvested with child labor.
My wife’s is made of a purple sapphire as the main stone with a small diamond on each side. She loves the purple. The diamonds I didn’t pay for, they were her grandmother’s that I got from her sister.

Opals are soft as hell. Not really a diamond replacement.
I’m not talking about replacing your diamond drill bit with opal. I mean jewellery
It’s more dropping or getting scratched, but I’ll admit I’ve never seen opal break.

An engagement ring is worn on your hand pretty much all the time. Opals are easily damaged, diamonds are exceptionally durable.
Moissanite
Dont opals lose their shine or something over time due to being hydrophilic?

Hematite. The most metal gemstone.
