AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From my personal collection #Opalwanted I bring you this spectacular rough opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia, known worldwide for producing some of the most intense and coveted play-of-color. The piece displays a vivid, multicolored play of color, with flashes of green, blue, and red that appear even in its natural, unpolished state, a sign of exceptional potential.
The opal remains partially attached to its original matrix, which allows appreciation of its natural formation and ensures authenticity. Under direct light, the stone reveals patches of color that are sharp and well-defined, characteristic of the higher-quality deposits in the region.
Ideal for collectors, lapidaries, or Lightning Ridge enthusiasts who are looking for a piece with character, a clear origin, and a promising future both as a cut gem and as a collectible.
Origin: Lightning Ridge, Australia
Condition: Crude, untreated
Features: Multicolor colorway visible in raw

- Origin: Lightning Ridge
- Color: Multicolor
- Dimensions: 31 mm x 16 mm x 14 mm
- Weight: 32CT
In the arid lands of Lightning Ridge, the ancient guardians of fire told that beneath the black sand, fragments of a primordial lightning slept. They said that when the storm touched the earth, part of its light was trapped forever in the rock.
This raw opal is one of those fragments: an ancestral spark still bound to its matrix, where the colors — forest greens of the night woods, abyss blues, and ancient-fire reds — intertwine as if they preserve the memory of the lightning that gave them birth.
A piece born of myth and geology, a vestige of Australian light that has survived intact to this day. Ideal for collectors who seek not only a gem, but a story that breathes within it.
Origin: Lightning Ridge, Australia
Condition: Crude, untreated

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