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 46.5 ct and dimensions of 37 mm × 19 mm × 14 mm, this opal offers an ideal volume for both cutting and polishing projects as well as creative settings or display in a collection. Its natural matrix adds character and authenticity, while its strong fire 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 young mountains, a ray of light escaped from the crown of the god of the heavens. As it fell to the earth, that divine spark shattered into thousands of colors, and each was trapped inside a single stone: the opal.
The ancients said that its brilliance was not a mere reflection, but the heartbeat of a celestial spirit that dwelt within it. That’s why, when the opal flashes in greens, blues, or reds, it is the memory of the heavens recalling its origin.
Some peoples believed it was a charm born from the rainbow, a jewel the gods dropped as they crossed the world to join heaven and earth. Others claimed that opal was the sleeping eye of a mystical creature, able to awaken its power when held by a pure heart.
Due to its changing nature, it was believed to reveal hidden truths, protect travelers, and ignite the creativity of those who carried it. It was regarded as a bridge between the visible and the invisible, a spark of magic trapped in rock.
Thus, opal is not merely a mineral: it is a fragment of myth, a whisper of the gods, an ancient light that still lives in the palm of the hand.
