Green Jelly Opal (rare color and locality)

Item Description

A rare and unique color and occurrence for Opal unlike anything I have seen from Brazil, or virtually any other world locality. This stone was cut from a single piece of rough that was collected in the early 1960s and was once part of the famous Richard (Dick) Gaines collection. We were fortunate enough to have a photo of the original piece of rough with Gaines' collection label to accompany this listing . Green Opal is certainly rare, and to find vibrantly colored stones like this one is unheard of on the market. This "Cut Corner Square" stone is the largest gem I have seen of this material, and would make a superb addition to any collection, especially an Opal suite, as a stone like this is next to impossible to find even in old collections. Please note that the color of the stone might appear differently on your monitor / screen than in person, as the material does shift in color from various light sources.
