Item Description

Over the last few years, we've seen some world-classic Opals coming out of Ethiopia. These gems rival some of the top Opal gems from places like Australia and Mexico for color and gemminess This "briolette" cut gem is a fantastic example of this material featuring a golden background that hosts an amazing array of color flash ranging from green to gold to orange to red when reflected in the light. It's a beautiful stone, and would make a great piece of jewelry, or would stand on its own in a gem box. It's a solid Opal, not a doublet or triplet, which significant when it comes to value, and it's completely untreated. Valued at $740.00 retail.
