AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From my personal collection #opalwanted, I present to you this magnificent and spectacular opal from the Australian region of Lightning Ridge.
A precious collection gem: natural multi-fire opal in its rough state. This opal, photographed from several angles to reveal its play of color, presents a vibrant and authentic scene. Still embraced by its original host matrix, it displays intense flashes of red, green, blue, and purple, manifesting the optical phenomenon characteristic of precious opals: the diffraction of light within its internal structure.
- Color scheme: Multicolor, with a clear presence of red (the most valued), electric green, deep blue with purple hues.
- State: Uncut and unpolished, which reinforces its authenticity and natural origin.
Wet condition: The images were taken with the opal slightly wet to highlight its true color.
Size: 37 x 27 x 17 mm
- Weight: 81.5 Ct
Potential: Ideal for lapidaries, collectors, or as a raw testimonial piece. It can be cut or preserved as a natural relic.
The alchemy of light
Opal does not reflect light: it transforms it. Its internal structure diffracts rays and turns them into color. It is a gemstone that does not merely shine: it creates beauty from physics itself.
