AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
From my personal collection #Opalwanted, I present this stunning gem: a 45.5-carat rough opal, a piece of natural crystal with a vibrant play of colors and internal fire that hypnotizes. It is a fire opal, originating from Ethiopia, with intense flashes running across its surface, revealing its unique and wild character.
This specimen preserves its natural matrix, making it an authentic and powerful showcase of Ethiopian geological beauty. Ideal for collectors, lapidaries, or gemstone lovers with soul.
Color scheme: multicolored, with a clear presence of red (the most valued), electric green, deep blue, and shades of purple.
- State: Uncut and unpolished, which reinforces its authenticity and natural origin.
Wet condition: The images were taken with the opal slightly wet to highlight its true color.
Size: 34 x 24 x 15 mm
- Weight: 45.5 Ct
Fire opal – 'Vulcano's tear'
From the volcanic lands of Ethiopia, where the earth still breathes fire, emerges this legendary gem: a 45.5-carat natural fire opal, known as 'Vulcano's Tear.' According to mythology, it was created when the fire god, in a fit of passion, dropped a burning tear onto the rock, giving rise to this mineral that encapsulates the brilliance of the elements.
Its rough surface bears the mark of primordial chaos, while within it burns a mystical fire: flashes of orange, green, yellow, and blue dance like eternal flames, trapped in stone. It is said that whoever possesses this gem will hold a fragment of divine power, a spark of creation.
A unique piece for collectors seeking more than beauty: they seek legend.
