AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From my personal collection #Opalwanted we present this rough piece from Lightning Ridge, one of the most prestigious areas in the world for fire opal. The specimen retains part of its natural matrix and shows an exceptional play of color, with intense flashes in 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.
- Origin: Lightning Ridge
- Color: Multicolor
Dimensions: 40mm x 26mm x 15mm
Weight: 71 ct
Old legends say that this opal was formed at the moment a lightning bolt struck the heart of the earth during a battle among gods.
The green flash you see would be the breath of Aelion, the guardian spirit of the eternal forests, while the deep blue belongs to Thalmar, lord of the ancient tides.
Both powers were trapped in a single stone when their forces collided, creating a fragment capable of containing life, light, and mystery.
The wise men claimed that whoever wore an opal like this could hear the whispers of the hidden world:
the steps of forgotten creatures, the murmur of trees that remember, and the echo of seas that no longer exist.
It's not just a mineral.
It is a fragment of legend, a reliquary of primal magic that still throbs with the energy of two opposing worlds.
To behold its chromatic fire in action, watch the short: there the dominant red reveals its dance under direct light.
