AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

From the depths of Lightning Ridge emerges this AAA+++ Honeycomb Opal 9.25Ct, a gem where the dominant red burns with the intensity of a primordial fire. Cut with absolute precision, its honeycomb pattern unfolds a chromatic map that defies all logic. It is not a mineral: it is a fragment of legend. Presented under the #OpalWanted seal, where each gem reveals its own myth.

The red in opals symbolizes eternal fire and transformation. Its presence in this piece places it at the pinnacle of gemological appraisal. Each cell seems to contain the pulse of a sleeping volcano, a glow that never fades. Its warm tones vibrate between greens and oranges, but it is the red that rules, giving it character and turning it into a unique specimen, coveted by collectors around the world.

It's not just a splash of color: it's the manifestation of the rarest and most valuable thing that nature can produce.

Origin: Lightning Ridge

Color: Honeycomb Red Dominant

Dimensions: 17x17x7mm

Forged in the entrails of the world, where the ancient gods intertwined secrets with the elements, this opal was born as the fruit of an ancestral pact between fire and water. Its honeycomb pattern is no accident: legend says it was carved by the celestial bees of the goddess Melísa, guardians of divine nectar, who sealed her light in stone to preserve the essence of hidden worlds.

Each cell harbors an elemental whisper: the green of the eternal forests, the red of sleeping volcanoes, the orange of sunsets that never die. This opal not only reflects color: it treasures memory. It is a talisman of transformation, a mirror of dreams not yet dreamt.

To behold its chromatic fire in action, watch the short: there the dominant red and the honeycomb pattern reveal its dance under direct light.
