Description from the seller
This rough opal comes from Lightning Ridge, Australia, one of the regions internationally best known for the quality and rarity of its opals. The piece displays a vivid, well-defined play of color, with flashes of green, blue, and red that emerge from within when exposed to light. Its natural surface preserves the original textures of the host matrix, which confirms its authenticity and its untreated state.
The combination of its provenance, its internal luster, and its rough, unpolished form makes it an ideal specimen for both collectors and lapidaries seeking high-quality material. A piece with character, certified origin, and the visual appeal characteristic of Lightning Ridge.
- Origin: Lightning Ridge
- Color: Multicolor
- Measures: 27min 18min 13min
- Weight: 34Ct
Born in the ancestral depths of Lightning Ridge, this opal was known by the ancient guardians of the land as 'the spark of the eternal lightning.' According to the legend, when a sacred storm crossed the Australian desert, a bolt of lightning struck the black rock and trapped within it a fragment of living light. Since then, every opal from this region holds a flash of the sky inside.
The piece before you preserves that primal flame: flashes of green, blue, and red that move like luminous spirits within the stone. Its raw surface bears the mark of the sacred territory from which it comes, reminding that it is not just a mineral, but a reliquary of ancient energy.
An opal for those who seek not only beauty but symbolic power, a legendary origin, and the sensation of holding a myth in the palm of your hand.
To behold its chromatic fire in action, watch the short: there the dominant red reveals its dance under direct light.
