Description from the seller
Australian Opal in the Rough – Living Fire in a Natural Matrix
This raw Australian opal stands out for its intense, well-defined play of color, with flashes of green, blue, and orange that emerge boldly from its natural matrix. The piece retains its original form, showing a balanced combination of host rock and open-fire zones, which adds authenticity and a geological character highly valued by collectors and lapidaries.
Its solid structure and its well-exposed color surface make it an excellent option for cutting, polishing, jewelry design, or to be preserved as-is as a collectible piece. The vividness of its iridescence and the stability of its body place it in the category of opals with high aesthetic potential.
Ideal for:
• Jewelry designers seeking materials with a strong presence.
• Lapidaries who value pieces with well-defined fire.
• Collectors of authentic Australian opals
• Buyers looking for rough gemstones with investment potential
A standout opportunity to acquire an opal with personality, premium origin, and a fire that won't go unnoticed.
- Origin: Light Ridge
- Color: Multicolor
- Measurements: 30mm x 22mm x 17mm
Story of an Opal Born of Thunder
In the ancient deserts of Australia, it is said that there was a night when the sky split in two. A bolt of lightning struck with such force that the sand turned to glass and the bedrock woke. From that clash between light and earth arose a mineral unlike any other: opal, guardian of celestial fire.
This raw specimen preserves that mythical origin. Its green, blue, and orange flashes seem like fragments of lightning trapped, still vibrating inside the matrix that saw it form. Each glow is an echo of that primal storm; each shadow, a memory of the silence that followed.
The ancients believed that these gems were talismans of vision and destiny, capable of revealing hidden paths to those who knew how to look beyond color. Today, they remain symbols of natural strength and untamed beauty.
A piece for collectors who seek not only a gem, but a story written in light.
To behold its chromatic fire in action, watch the short: there the dominant red reveals its dance under direct light.
