Description from the seller
From my personal collection #Opalwanted I bring you this opal in matrix with great vibrancy, featuring an exceptional play of color that reveals flashes of green, blue, yellow, and red under light. The piece retains part of its host rock, which enhances its natural character and geological authenticity. Its fire is sharp, dynamic, and visible from multiple angles, showing a vibrant pattern that makes it an ideal piece for both a collection and for future cutting.
Hailing from Light Ridge, Australia, one of the regions best known for the intensity and quality of its opals, this specimen stands out for its clean brilliance and visual presence even in its rough state. An excellent opportunity to acquire an opal with personality, premium origin, and notable aesthetic potential.
- Origin: Light Ridge
- Color: Multicolor
- Dimensions: 25 mm x 20 mm x 14 mm
In the ancient lands of Light Ridge, Australia, the elders told that certain opals were not mere gems, but fragments of light torn from the gods during the desert storms. This specimen in matrix preserves that primal character: an inner fire that seems to breathe, with flashes of green, blue, and red that emerge as if still bearing the echo of a divine bolt.
The host rock that surrounds it acts as a witness to its origin, reminding us that it was not carved by human hands, but formed in silence beneath the earth, where silica and time joined to enclose a glint of the firmament. Its play of color, vivid and changing, evokes ancient legends that attributed to these opals the ability to protect travelers and reveal the truth hidden in the darkness.
A piece for collectors who seek not only a gem, but a symbol: a fragment of myth trapped in time.
To behold its chromatic fire in action, watch the short: there the dominant red reveals its dance under direct light.
