Some facts about Banded Opal or Soapal:

Opal is formed from a solution of silicon dioxide and water. As water runs down through the earth, it picks up silica from sandstone, and carries this silica-rich solution into cracks and voids , caused by natural faults or decomposing fossils. As the water evaporates, it leaves behind a silica deposit. This cycle repeats over very long periods of time, and eventually opal is formed.

There are hundreds of names for Opal varieties. Some names, such as White Opal, Banded and Hyalite, are universally accepted. Banded Opal is a variety of Opal.
