     This is a very stunning 6.10 caret Andamooka opal cabochon cut in the early fifties from black base angelstone matrix, and this material is nauturaly dark, and has NOT been sugar treated. This opal has been cut from top andamooka matrix with very brilliant fir in a very hard dark Quartz. This opal is also non-directional, and displays very bright 5/5+ brightness in Red-Blue multi-color floral fire.

This opal has been cut from top angelfire andamooka matrix with very brilliant "flash" sheet fire in Red-blue-green patches.

 

This is a very well cut dome cabochon with a high dome perfect for setting in a pendant or ring

Andamooka matrix exhibits the exact same deep rich colors against a deep black background as does its far more expensive Lightning Ridge black gem opal, but at a far less expensive price.

The opal measures 16 mm X 12 mm X 5 mm thick, and the base tone is between a N-1,2 with a medium dome, and a brightness of 5/5+ from all directions.

 

Thank you for looking, and I hope you find this rare opportunity to obtain gem quality matrix the one for you.
