Opal inventory software for dealers
Opals are opal stones sourced mainly from Australia, Ethiopia and Mexico. Opal is priced on body tone, brightness and pattern, so photographs and dimension records matter, and Ethiopian Welo opal needs a different treatment note from Australian opal.
What to record for each opal
Typical fields: play of colour, body tone, type, dimensions and weight. GemColony keeps these on the stone record with photos and a barcode or QR label.
Parcels, lots and memos
Buy opals as a lot, split it into parcels and single stones, and send stones out on memo while seeing who holds them and for how long.

Upload photos and GemColony's AI suggests type, origin, clarity and treatment, and can propose a market price. Use it as a second opinion; it does not replace a laboratory report.

Issue a provenance certificate with an online verification link and share any opal with a branded link or QR code.
