Item Description

A classic Aussie occurence, this is a large opal specimen for display. Nearly covering one side of a polished slab of cross-bedded sandstone, is a lustrous and transparent, multi hued, thin seam of "boulder opal". The colors of the opal are displayed in beautiful bands of pastel apple-green and a vivid, purplish blue. Very colorful and mesmerizing! Mass is 430 grams.
