Precious Opal (Multicolor)

Item Description

Here we have a classic Australian Opal gem. You might see these stones labeled as Precious Opal or Crystal Opal depending upon the seller's preference. 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 "Oval Cabochon" cut gem has a translucent white or colorless background hosting flashes of red, orange, yellow, green and blue 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.
