Item Description

An outstanding, sculptural, 4.8 cm elongated wreath with a "tail" of totally, gemmy, very glassy, colorless, botryoidal hyalite opal is elegantly set atop the volcanic rock matrix. Classic neon-green SW UV fluorescence. This fine piece is from a 2013-14 find at this old andesite quarry, first opened in 1861. Ex John Dagenais Collection, a well-known Canadian collector. He passed away in 2022. A superb example from the locale.
