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 gem is shows flashes of red, orange, gold, purple, blue, yellow and green, set against a bluish-black background. When this stone is STRONGLY lit, it shows deep color. Please note that this stone is a triplet, and is set against a backing to help allow the color to better show through. Enjoy.
