Opals are extremely difficult to both photograph and film. We also find the higher the opal grade, the more camera shy they are. That being said, we do not post-edit or manipulate our images. Instead we aim for realistic photos and videos. Therefore our opals will look as are, or even better in real life, than on our website.
