Personality
"Opal is an amalgam of our combined magical and physical attributes fused into a single entity."

her if she completed her mission. Later, in "The Return", Opal recognizes Garnet's leadership and awaits her command to fire her arrow/arrows, working together without problems while attempting to destroy the Gem Warship.

Appearances

 * "Giant Woman" (debut)
 * "The Return" (non-speaking cameo)

Trivia

 * She is the third shortest fusion, right above Stevonnie and Garnet.
 * As seen in "The Return", she is at least twice as tall as Garnet.
 * Opal and Stevonnie are the only fusions that have no more than two eyes.
 * She was the second fusion (after Garnet) to be seen, albeit the first fusion to be introduced as one.
 * Opal's appearance consists more of Pearl's physical appearance and features.
 * This also extends to her weapon; Pearl's spear not only makes up the longbow but the arrows are visually similar to the energy blast her spear can emit. Meanwhile, Amethyst's whip merely acts as the bowstring.
 * Opal is the only Gem with an exclusively ranged weapon. This is most likely due to Pearl's spear having the ability to create multiple energy blasts despite being a melee weapon. She can also throw this spear with impressive speed and accuracy, wielding it with impeccable skill.
 * Opal is among the most human-looking fusions; only Garnet, Stevonnie, and Rainbow Quartz have more human-like appearances.
 * It can be inferred that more stable fusions look closer to a humanoid figure. In that case, despite their constant bickering, Pearl and Amethyst must share a deep emotional connection and mutual respect for each other.
 * In the "Guide to the Crystal Gems" Garnet confirms that Pearl and Amethyst create a perfect balance when they form Opal but can easily break apart if either of them loses concentration for a moment.
 * Opal was the first fusion whose constituent gems (Amethyst and Pearl) were shown attempting a fusion dance. She was also the first fusion whose dance was unsuccessful.
 * She, along with Garnet, are the only fusions who have bubbled gemstones on-screen.
 * When Opal's arrow bubbled the Gem Shards from the Big Bird, her bubbles were colored mint-green.
 * Opal is one of two fusions who have not been shown forming on-screen.
 * The other is Alexandrite.
 * She is among the least talkative fusions. Of all the fusions who speak with clarity, she has the fewest lines.
 * Gem Mutants speak only in screeches and roars.
 * The least talkative is Rainbow Quartz; while she is ostensibly capable of human speech, she has no dialogue at all in her only appearance to date.
 * Opal will have a new appearance, due to Amethyst's regeneration. This will make her the fusion with the most different outfits, after Garnet.

Cultural References

 * Opal closely resembles Kali, a Hindu deity, featuring four arms, long hair, and a gemstone lodged on the forehead.
 * Additionally, Opal was originally planned to make a manji (a Hindu symbol that resembles a backwards facing swastika, though they are unrelated) with her arms when summoning her weapon, of which Kali is commonly associated with.
 * She is also similar to the design of Nabooru from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time; even to the point of having her pointed nose.
 * She also resembles the Hindu deity Lakshmi, who, like Opal, has four arms. Opal's weaponry also revolves around light, something Lakshmi is closely associated with.
 * Sugilite also has a strong resemblance to Kali.
 * Opal's theme is a style of music called High-Energy Piano Anthem, a type of music invented by Masami Ueda, the composer for the Bayonetta games.

Gemology


Gemstone Information


 * Opal is a hydrated amorphous form of silica; its water content may range from 3 to 21% by weight, but is usually between 6 and 10%.
 * Because of its amorphous character, it is classed as a mineraloid, unlike the other crystalline forms of silica, which are classed as minerals.
 * It is deposited at a relatively low temperature and may occur in the fissures of almost any kind of rock, being most commonly found with limonite, sandstone, rhyolite, marl, and basalt.
 * Opal can occur in many colors, including white, colorless, pale yellow, pale red, gray, brown and black.
 * Diffraction can cause flashes of any color of the rainbow which can be seen in opal's color play.
 * Yellow, blue and green are most common, whereas violet, red and orange are the rarest colors seen through play of color.
 * 'Opalescence' should technically only be used to describe the optical effects seen in common opal.
 * The name opal was probably derived from Sanskrit "upala", meaning "valuable stone" or from the Greek word "opallus" which means to see a change in color.
 * 'Opalescence' is caused by the reflection of light and appears as a sheen of light, typically milky-bluish in color.
 * Precious opal is known for its remarkable ability to diffract light, which results in rainbow-like colors that change with the angle of observation - known as 'play of color'.
 * Opal is said to stimulate originality and creativity.
 * It is thought that it can pick up the thoughts and feelings of people and amplify emotions.
 * Opal is a birthstone for those who are born in October.
 * Opal is the national gemstone of Australia.
 * As for the zodiac, it is regarded as the stone for Libra and Taurus.
