AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From my personal collection #Opalwanted I bring you this extraordinary beauty of rough opal, a piece of vibrant fire coming directly from the prestigious Australian region (Lightning Ridge). This superior quality specimen shows all the virtues of opal: great luminosity, excellent clarity and an intense and dynamic play of colors that captivates at first sight.
With a weight of 41.5 ct and dimensions of 24 mm × 20 mm × 14 mm, this opal offers an ideal volume for both shaping and polishing projects as well as for creative settings or display in a collection. Its natural matrix adds character and authenticity, while its vivid play of color makes it an exceptional choice for high-end jewelry pieces.
A perfect opportunity for:
• Jewelry designers looking for unique materials
• Lapidaries who value the potential of a piece with a rich inner life
• Collectors of rare gemstones with certified origin
Investors interested in high-quality rough gemstones.
You can watch a video under direct light in all its glory below the description:
It is said that, in the dawn of the world, when the gods still walked among living mountains, a beam of light escaped from the celestial mantle and fell to the earth. That beam, upon touching the rock, did not extinguish itself: it remained trapped, beating like an eternal heart.
From that divine spark, the opal was born.
The ancients said that every flash of color within the stone was a memory of the gods:
The green, the footprint of the primordial forests.
The red, the sacred fire that forged the first volcanoes.
The blue, the whisper of the seas that still had no name.
El Dorado, the light of the sun before time existed.
According to legend, whoever holds a rough opal holds a fragment of the fallen firmament, a reliquary where nature kept its oldest secrets. It is not just a gem: it is a silent witness of creation, a fossilized echo of the moment when light decided to stay on Earth.
