Precious Opal (Multicolor)

Item Description

When it comes to Opal, it is without question that the best stones in the world come from Australia. They are truly mesmerizing for their beauty and size. Opal is one of the most diverse gems out there. It's one of the few stones that looks just as attractive when it's crystal clear as it does when the stones are opaque. Despite it's rather simplistic chemistry, Opals show a great range of color in many varieties. This "Flat Disc Cabochon" cut gem is what is often called "Crystal Opal", with a white or grey background hosting flashes of purple, blue and green which show up in reflected light. As you can see, the stone shows good color, and it's important to mention that this is a solid Opal, not a doublet or a triplet, which makes a difference when it comes to the value. Priced at $778.50 retail.
