Product information
Discreet item"WOW" - HOW DOES A PERSON BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THIS OPAL AND THE TOTAL RARITY OF FINDING IT. WHETHER IN THE ROUGH OR AT A SUPPLIER. MINED AT THE FAMOUS LIGHTNING RIDGE MINE IN AUSTRALIA (WHERE ALL THREE OF THESE OPALS ARE FOUND) SOMEHOW THIS OPAL MUST HAVE BEEN PART OF AN INTERSECTING VEIN.
TO ADD TO THE MAGNIFICENCE, THIS OPAL HAS A TOP PLAY-OF-COLOUR. NO AID IS NEEDED. I CAN QUITE EASILY GIVE IT A 5/5 FOR THE RED AND GREEN UNAIDED COLOUR PLAY. WHEN UNDER LIGHT THE FUN REALLY STARTS. BESIDES YOUR EVERYDAY COLOURS, YOU HAVE YOUR 3 RARE COLOURS - LIME GREEN, PURPLE AND GOLD. YOU ALSO HAVE YOUR ULTRA RARE PARIBIA BLUE. TO TOP IT ALL OFF, YOU HAVE RAREST OF THEM ALL - MAGENTA. THESE LAST 2 DO TAKE SOME LOOKING, BUT ONCE YOU FIND THEM IT IS EASY TO FIND AGAIN.
THIS IS DEFINITELY A GEM FOR THE COLLECTORS. DON'T MISS OUT. WHO KNOWS WHEN THE NEXT ONE WILL COME ALONG. AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST ONE I HAVE SEEN ON BoB!
BIT OF INTERESTING OPAL TRIVIA. DID YOU KNOW, THAT IF AN OPAL IS NOT MANAGING TO FIRE OR FLASH EN CABOCHON, THEY WILL THEN FACET THE GEMSTONE TO GET IT FIRE.
