Item 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 gem shows mostly blue and purple flashes set against a dark background. When this stone is strongly lit, it shows great color. Please note that this stone is a triplet, and is set against a backing with a colorless Quartz "cap" to help allow the color to better show through. Enjoy.
