The King of Opals:

From my personal collection Opalwanted, discover the extraordinary presence of this rough opal of intense fire, a piece selected directly from the prestigious Australian region (Lightning Ridge), worldwide renowned for producing the most vibrant and coveted opals. This superior quality specimen stands out for its clean brilliance, excellent clarity, and a dynamic play of colors that combines vivid flashes of green, orange, and blue with great liveliness.

With a weight of 38 Ct and dimensions of 31 mm x 24 mm x 11 mm, this piece offers an ideal surface for carving or polishing, as well as a perfect size for creative settings, wire-wrapping, or to be kept as-is as a collectible piece. Its natural matrix adds character and authenticity, while its intense fire makes it an exceptional choice for high-end jewelry projects.

• Collectors of rare rough gems
• Buyers interested in investment-grade rough stones

To behold its chromatic fire in action, watch the short: there the dominant red reveals its dance under direct light.
