Item Description

Opal is well-known from this less well-known small serpentinite body (MINDAT), but specimens are seldom on the market. This is an impressive large mass of lustrous, translucent, bone-white opal with a striking porcelaneous texture. The opal is attached to a thin matrix rind on the back. Rare, excellent and large opal from the locality from a Czech collection. 499 grams or 1.1 pounds mass.
