It's difficult to determine the exact number of opals in the world, as they are formed naturally and found in various locations, particularly in Australia, which produces about 95% of the world's supply. The quantity of opals can vary widely due to mining activities and natural occurrences. Additionally, opals come in numerous types and qualities, making them highly sought after by collectors and jewelers. Thus, while there are countless opals, an exact count is not feasible.
