You can see a small shorts below description:
It is said that the ancient Greeks believed that opal was Zeus’s solidified tears, fallen from Olympus upon beholding the beauty of the universe. In Roman mythology, it was said that this gem contained the hope of all colors, a fragment of the rainbow trapped in stone.
This opal AAA+++, with red, green and blue flashes, seems to hold inside it the fire of Prometheus, the gleam of Aphrodite’s stars, and the depth of Hades’ mysteries. Each flash is like a myth revived: a hidden universe that only reveals itself to those who contemplate it with reverence.
It is not just a precious gem, it is a legendary talisman, symbol of power, protection, and ancient magic. A jewel worthy of emperors and heroes, ready to find a new guardian in this auction.
