Description from the seller
From my personal collection #Opalwanted, we present this piece of virgin opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia.
Rough piece from Lightning Ridge, one of the world's most prestigious areas for fire opal. The specimen retains part of its natural matrix and shows an exceptional play of color, with intense flashes of red, green, blue, and yellow.
The stone reveals a lively fire even under soft light, indicating outstanding potential for both collection and lapidary work. Its solid structure and internal luster make it an ideal candidate for those seeking authentic, high-quality material originating from Australia.
Piece 100% natural, untreated.

According to the ancient Dreamtime stories, the creator spirits descended to the earth, leaving flashes of light trapped in the rock. This rough opal, from Lightning Ridge, seems to preserve one of those fragments: an inner fire that bursts into reds, greens, blues, and golds as if the myth were still breathing.
The piece retains part of its natural matrix, reinforcing its authenticity and origin. Its vivid and deep color palette suggests exceptional potential for both collection and carving. An specimen that combines geological rarity with the symbolic power of Australian legends.
To behold its chromatic fire in action, watch the short: there the dominant red reveals its dance under direct light.
