6.45 CTS FINISHED HUNGARIAN TOKAJ MOUNTAINS HONEY OPAL

  There were two localities in ancient Hungary where opal was mined commercially. Dubník is widely known, but there was another mine in the Tokaj Mountains, near the village of Telkibánya. Precious opal and a special transparent yellow-orange opal called honey opal used to be mined here probably from the middle ages up to the end of the 18th century.
The old mine of Telkibánya today is a nature conservation area, but the volcanic Tokaj Mountains hide several more opal localities, that are allowed to collect material from. Besides countless variations of common opal, honey opal, fire opal and precious opal can be found at these sites. I offer rough specimens and finished gemstones from this both geologically and historically important area.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Opal Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
