Wow, what a fantastic Australian Opal here, from the Mintabie Opal fields. Color play all over the surface of the stone. No cracks or crazing. This Opal is stable. As you can see from the side view, the color band on this Opal is exceptionally thick. This Opal could probably be carved down and made dual sided. Has a couple tiny flecks of dark potch, which you can see in the pictures. We’ve priced it well below wholesale, at a mere $100 per carat, which is amazingly reasonable for an Opal of this quality and size.

I    took pictures of this Opal in high magnification and full sunlight to give    you the best idea of its color play and quality.     As a certified   gemologist I can verify that the above description is         accurate and   that this Opal/Opals have been tested in the gem lab to    verify    identity and natural origin.
