Precious Opal / Jelly Opal

Item Description

This material is actually somewhat old but recently came out of a collection that contained pieces of different colors. This stone is a wonderful, good sized, nearly colorless gem (it shows a bit of a blue "sheen" when rotated in the light against a black background - but it's not as strong as the photos might indicate) with a lovely "Trillion" cut. It is very very attractive and showy with that typical jelly-like appearance. This gem was difficult to photograph, and while it has good transparency, this is unique material, and probably some of the best Fire Opal from the United States. Please note that this stone is completely stable and will NOT craze because it has been sufficiently dehydrated and it will last. This is a great chance to own a beautiful old U.S. Fire Opal, which is well worth the $100 starting bid.
