Opal (Cuprian) (Custom Facted by Allyce Kosnar)

Item Description

Opal comes in a wide variety of colors and "styles". It is one of those gems that looks just as beautiful when its opaque as when it's completely transparent. In Peru there is an area that produces some of the best true blue Opal in the world. The color in these stones is caused by Copper content. The finest stones from this area are truly some of the most attractive Opals I've ever seen. This particular stone is a beautiful saturated sky blue color color gem with a "Custom Shield" cut. The stone was custom faceted by Allyce Kosnar of Mineral Classics *www.minclassics.com in August of 2012. Rarely do you see precious Opal with this color on the market, so don't pass this one up. Well worth the $100 starting bid!
