Precious Opals, with Damien Cody 

In the 13th edition of the Home Gemmology webinar supported of CIBJO - The World Jewellery Confederation, the topic is one of the most fascinating ones: opals! And to add to the excitement of this phenomenal gemstone I have a special guest: Damien Cody, a world renown opal expert, author and currently serving as Board Member of the ICA - International Colored Gemstone Association. After a brief introduction on opals in general, including history, lore and most relevant varieties, Damien will introduce the NEW OPAL CLASSIFICATION, and then focus on Australian precious opals and their 8 value factores. It will be a privilege to listen to this top expert from Down Under.
