In the second type of matrix, the opals are treated to give a dark backdrop. The treatment includes the soaking of stones in sugar solution which is followed by acid boiling. As a result, carbon produces deposits in the small spaces of the rock. This helps give the stone a dark body color like black opal. African Opals 1. Ethiopian Opals
