Description:Opal is one of the most diverse gems out there. It's one of the few stones that looks just as attractive when it's crystal clear as it does when the stones are opaque. Despite it's rather simplistic chemistry, Opals show a great range of color in many varieties. This "Flat Freeform Cabochon" cut gem is what is often called "Crystal Opal", hosting flashes of green and blue. When the stone is backlit, it shows a golden hue. When this stone is strongly lit, it shows decent color and the stone is a solid Opal, not a doublet or a triplet, which makes a difference when it comes to Opals.
