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 "Freeform" Cabochon cut gem is what is often called "Crystal Opal", with a white to silvery-grey background hosting flashes of red, yellow, gold, orange, greens, purples and blues. When this stone is strongly lit, it shows great. The stone is a solid Opal, not a doublet or a triplet, which means something when it comes to value as solid Opals command higher prices on the market. A very attractive stone and is dirt cheap for the $100 starting bid, since we had it priced at $884.00 retail.
