LEOPARD OPAL
MEXICAN OPAL ROUGH MAGENTA GREEN WHITE COLOUR SLICED READY TO SHAPE-POLISH CAN CUT LARGE PC OR SEVERAL MATCHING STONES Weight: 167 CTS SIZE 63 X 54 X 8 MM APPROX
This is a natural untreated opal from Mexico.Also known as opal from the lost mines of the Aztecs.Ideal for cabbing or carving.We have included both sides of the stone plus a hand shot.You have the option to cut the stone natural or some cutters like to fill the small cavities with resin or super glue.
The GIA have published this about this type fo opal- "Leopard opal" consists of vesicular basalt impregnated with play-of-color opal, and is known only from Zimapán, Hidalgo State, Mexico. The formation of this ornamental stone was made possible by an abundance of silica derived from the chemical breakdown of overlying volcanic ash layers, the permeability of the underlying basalt, and the presence of pores in the basalt of an aesthetically pleasing size. The even distribution and small size of the opal-filled vesicles makes the rock attractive when cut or carved and polished. Veinlets and irregular masses of play-of-color opal showing various bodycolors (red, white, and colorless to pale blue) have also been deposited along joints and fractures within the basalt flow. This opal deposit, which may have been worked in pre-Columbian times, has been explored only by a number of small test pits in recent years, and significant potential remains for its future development.

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.
