AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

From my personal collection, #opalwanted presents this magnificent and spectacular raw piece of collection: natural fire opal in its raw state. This raw opal, photographed from various angles to reveal its play of color, displays a vibrant and authentic scene. Still embraced by its original matrix, it shows intense flashes of red, green, blue, and purple, manifesting the characteristic optical phenomenon of precious opals: light diffraction within its internal structure.

Color scheme: multicolored, with a clear presence of red (the most valued), electric green, deep blue, and shades of purple.

- State: Uncut and unpolished, which reinforces its authenticity and natural origin.

Wet condition: The images were taken with the opal slightly wet to highlight its true color.

Size: 37 x 27 x 17 mm

- Weight: 81.5 Ct

Potential: Ideal for lapidaries, collectors, or as a raw testimonial piece. It can be cut or preserved as a natural relic.

The alchemy of light

Opal does not reflect light: it transforms it. Its internal structure diffracts rays and turns them into color. It is a gemstone that does not merely shine: it creates beauty from physics itself.
