Crystal Opal (with rainbow flash)

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 "Oval Cabochon" cut gem is what is often called "Crystal Opal", with a colorless background hosting rainbow flashes of yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, red, orange and gold. I love the beautiful spectrum that shows up when the stone is rotated in the light. The stone is a solid Opal, not a doublet or a triplet, which makes a difference when it comes to value.
