Please note that we employ photography techniques that emphasize the beauty of the stones and that many microscopic elements NOT visible to the naked eye will sometimes show in the photographs...please disregard any lint, black gemcup fibers, dust, etc. that you may see in the photos.  We will always disclose any noticeable or consequential flaws or imperfections in our listings.  These unique characteristics add to the provenance of the stones and ensure your investment is in quality, 100% natural and untreated opal. This item has been photographed using  a variety of lighting sources and background materials to show the various appearances of the stone based on lighting conditions but the photos have NOT been edited or modified except for cropping (cutting to size). There will be variances in the temperature and color of lighting and/or background color/texture to best represent the item in differing settings. Please note that these variations in the photos are NOT from editing the photos to change their appearance (they have not been "pumped") but are from lighting and background changes only.

About this item specifically~ Once again, ExoticOpal is proud to offer a rare and beautiful opal from another unusual locale.  Piaui, Brazil is known amongst opal collectors as having really beautiful opal with intense color (much brighter than most) and it is also especially unlikely to craze or crack.  All opal owes its beautiful play of color to a water content that varies by type and locale.  When it is mined or cut, it begins to dessicate and depending on the water content, it can start to develop the characteristic cracks that sometimes occur in many types.  Brazilian opal is much harder than most other opal and it also has a lower water content than many other types.  As a result, it is essentially the most stable opal available on the market and the amount of colorplay and intensity is about as nice as opal gets for such a stable product. (Unfortunately, in most cases, the most colorful opal with the brightest fire is often so unstable that it must be stored in water or it will begin to crack almost immediately upon excavation.  The most notable example of this is crystal opal from Virgin Valley, Nevada, in the US.  It is fossil replacement opal that has formed in a rich and moist environment over time and as soon as it begins to dry, it begins to crack and lose its appeal.  Normally, this causes such opal to be of value to collectors and not to the commercial market because it cannot be cut and set.  Although this is not always the case, odds are it will be so in the overwhelming majority of cases.)   Brazilian opal is EXTREMELY durable and as such a great investment and daily wear material.  I also takes a SUPER shiny bright polish.  If you have never seen Brazilian crystal opal, this is a great oppportunity to see what a special material it is and how nice quality ExoticOpal can be.  The stone is .6 ct and measures about 7mm on the sides and 2mm thick (approx.)  This one is chock full of the BRIGHT and crisp color known in Brazilian opal.  Don't miss this superb buy at under $200 per carat ~ only $128 ~ HURRY! 

Thanks...ExoticOpal
