Precious Opal (Multicolor)

Item Description

A representative and pretty cabochon of opal, nice for lapidary use, or collectible. 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 "brilliant cushion" cut gem is what is often called "Crystal Opal", with a white or colorless background hosting flashes of red, orange, yellow and green which show up in reflected light. As you can see, the stone shows good color all over, 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. 0.63 carats.
