Opal's grain size refers to the size of the silica spheres that make up the gemstone. Larger grain sizes can enhance the play of colors in opals, while smaller grain sizes may result in a more uniform color appearance. Grains in opal are typically between 150 and 300 nanometers in size.
Ther is no set answer to this question. Each opal is unique and has its own value. From colorless opal to the most prized fire opal it depends on the size and color. A good place to get the idea of the value of opal is to go to ebay and type in opals. You will see prices from a few dollars to over 50,000 dollars.
No, a meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body in outer space that does not have an atmosphere. It is typically smaller than an asteroid and can range in size from a grain of sand to a small rock.
If the sun were the size of a human eyeball then Earth would be the size of a grain of fine sand.
From the size of a grain of sand, to about the size of a grain of rice. A meteor the size of e kernel of corn would be rare. Bigger ones do come along, but things the size of a baseball probably only hit the Earth once a week or so.

Shale is a sedimentary rock that typically has the smallest grain size due to its fine-grained and compacted nature.
Grain refers to particle or crystal size in rock.

The size of the grains in a sedimentary rock can be determined by examining the texture of the rock. Coarser grains indicate a larger grain size, while finer grains indicate a smaller grain size. Other features that can provide clues to grain size include the sorting (uniformity of grain sizes) and rounding of the grains.
the size of a sand grain or smaller
It doesn't. The grain size effects the texture. If a rock has a small grain size, it will have a smooth texture. If the grain size is large, such as pebbles, the texture will be rough. For example, siltstone is one of the smoothest rocks because it contains silt particles, which are .0004cm to .006cm. Conglomerate though contains various particles including cobbles and boulders, which are from 10cm to 100cm.
These characteristics determine a rock's texture.
Grains: Grains that are not crystals in rock do not have flat shiny faces. They are rounded, like grain of sand, or jagged, like a piece of broken rock. Grain Size: Grain size in rocks can mean the size of crystal grains or of fragments: Coarse Grained: most of the rock is made of grains as largeas rice, or larger.
Granite is considered a coarse grained rock.
