GEM CRYSTAL ROUGH

This is a piece of rough opalmined in Lightning Ridge showing a beautiful strong crystal pattern.We believe this was a piece of fossil vegatation possibly roots so you can make out some growths on it..The rough has only been slightly faced and placed in a tumbler.It is now ready for pre shaping to your desired shape ready for polishing.I would recommened this for the more experienced cutter not because its difficult to cut but because it is quite rare material.Ideal for advanced inlay work or it can be cut in to doublets or solid stones.This material is from a top field called Jag Hill.
