Item Description

Opal is known from hundreds of world localities in a large number of varieties and colors. It's one of the few species that looks as good when it's transparent as when it's opaque. This is a classic piece of Precious Opal (possibly Boulder Opal) from the Queensland Opal fields featuring a gorgeous curving patch of translucent Opal that shows virtually all colors of the rainbow including pink, red, orange, gold, yellow, green, blue and purple! The Opal resembles a winding river of color making its way through the underlying host rock. GORGEOUS color in good lighting, and this is classic material that is beloved by collectors and dealers. Some of the finest examples of Opal in the world are found in Queensland, and a piece like this would make a wonderful addition to any collection. Priced at $550 in the inventory.
