Andesite opal from Las Colinas :
This material is a base of hard granite-like rock that has fissures filled with opal through the eons. This opal is generally lightbased and shows very nice color. Usually, this material is left in the rocky matrix as it is cut to show the color best and it also gives much visual interest as well. Andesite opal also appears to be the most stable of the types from Honduras and is such high quality that it was often exported to Europe and sold as the very similar material from the Slovakian deposits.



Honduran Opals vary from milky-white to matrix based, formed mostly by volcanic eruptions in South America. Honduras has some of the oldest opal mines in the world, with the most famous opal mine in Tablon. Many farms subsidize their income from opal mining. The opal mines are found in volcanic black basalt. Honduras Black Matrix are naturally black, but some are treated by soaking in resin, similar to emeralds.
The largest opal deposit in Honduras is the Tablon mine.
