Opal-AN (formerly Hyalite Opal) (fluorescent)

Item Description

These lovely Opal specimens are rarely seen on the market these days. They are lesser known "Hyalite" Opals (the material is now referred to as Opal-AN), but still some of the most beautiful examples you'll see from anywhere. This piece features an eye-catching, translucent, soft golden colored, semi-spherical aggregate of Opal-AN beautifully sitting in the center of the Rhyolite matrix, just like an egg in a nest. If you look closely, you'll see the tiny "beads" on the surface of the Opal group, but when you look at the overall aggregate, it really resembles a brain coral. To top it off, the Opal glows with an electric green hue under SW UV light. A wonderful, fine quality eye-catching example of this seldom seen material and a must have for any fan of Opals, fluorescent minerals or just unusual specimens.
