AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From my personal collection #Opalwanted I bring you this natural opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia, renowned worldwide for the exceptional quality of its opals. This rough specimen features an intense multicolor play of color, with flashes of green, orange, blue, yellow, and purple that become clearly visible under direct light. The internal structure shows a good dispersion of color, visible from several angles.
The stone retains part of its original matrix, which confirms its untreated state and its geological authenticity. The contrast between the rough surface and the translucent core reveals a material with high lapidary potential, ideal for carving, collection, or investment.
A solid piece, with strong color presence and certified origin, suitable for those seeking high-quality opals with distinctive visual character.
- Origin: Lightning Ridge
- Color: Multicolor
- Measurements: 27mn 19mn 15mn
- weight: 35.5 ct
In the oldest tales of the Australian desert it is said that, before time existed, the creator spirits walked the earth, leaving trails of light beneath their steps. In Lightning Ridge, one of those trails was trapped forever inside the rock. Across the centuries, the light condensed, became matter… and the opal was born.
This specimen preserves that primordial radiance: green, orange, yellow, and blue specks that move as if they were still breathing inside the stone. Its rough matrix is the skin of the ancient world; its luminous interior, the echo of an energy that never went out.
Holding it is touching a fragment of the world's dawn, a relic of the first spark that kindled creation.
An opal for those who seek not only beauty, but a living myth.
To behold its chromatic fire in action, watch the short: there the dominant red reveals its dance under direct light.
