Yes, arrowheads can be made from opal, although it is not a common material for this purpose. Opal is a relatively soft and fragile stone compared to traditional arrowhead materials like flint or obsidian, which can be knapped into sharp edges. While opal arrowheads may be crafted for decorative or symbolic purposes, they would not be practical for actual use in hunting or combat due to their brittleness.

What chemical formula is opal made from?
Opal is a mineraloid gel. It is made, oddly enough, almost entirely of opal. It is also completely free of birefringence, and has virtually no pleochroism. Opal is basically silica. Saying opal is made of opal is like saying quartz is made of quartz, or tiger eye is made of tiger eye. It's the unique structure of the silica that makes it become opal. The Japanese have made a nice man made opal using silica and zirconium oxide. Si02nH20

Opal is a heterogeneous mixture because it is made up of different components, such as silica and water, that are not uniformly distributed throughout the material. This gives opal its unique play-of-color appearance.

Opal is not magnetic. It is a mineraloid made primarily of silica and water, and its chemical composition does not contain any magnetic minerals. As a result, opal does not exhibit magnetic properties and will not be attracted to magnets.
