What is Australia's national gemstone?

  1. Australia's national colours.

  2. The golden wattle, Australia's national flower.

  3. The opal.

  4. In Aboriginal legend, a rainbow touched the earth and created the colours of the opal.

The correct answer is: The opal.

The correct answer is the opal. While option A and B make reference to national symbols of Australia, they do not specifically mention gemstones. Option D provides historical and cultural context about the creation of opals in Aboriginal legend, but it does not directly answer the question of Australia's national gemstone. Only option C accurately identifies the opal as Australia's national gemstone.
