oPALs AS COSTLY AS DIAMONDS

Chicago, May 14.-Wfth the super
'stition that opals are unlucky now
pretty well broken down and the way
cleared for one of the most beautiful
of gems to win the popularity it de-
serves, fine opals are becoming in
creasingly scarce as the supply from
the mines is running seriously low:
The Hungarian mines,' once the
worlds chief source of supply. were
shut down by the war. They proba-
bly, will not be worked again for
years and their store of opals after
centuries of production is not large.
Today the best cpals come from
Australia They are called "black
opals,'' but in fact they are the most
gorgeously colored gems in the cate
CORY of precious stones. The field of
the Australian mines has been small
for several years and it is reported
they are near exhaustion.
With the supply diminishing, the
prices of opals have shown a remark
able increase. Opals formerly were of
moderate prices. Now their value,
not according to carat but ais single
stones, is comparable to that of dia-
monds. Opal of size suitable for
stickpins and unset sell for 5000 and
$500 apiece. One brought $4,000 and
several others $4,000 and $4,000.
