NATURAL ETHIOPIAN HYDROPHANE OPAL NUT
 
 COLOR CHANGE RED to ORANGE
ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE - COLLECTOR PIECE

Description

This opal is absolutely special. This is a rare ethiopian opal nut, also known as "chocolate opal".
This opal is a collector piece. It's a rare hydrophane opal which means that the opal becomes wet a red crystal opal and and when it drys it becomes more and more orange and non-transparent. The colors are much stronger when the opal is dry.

The opal in the middle of the nut has cracks, but this is absolutely normal for untreated ethiopian opal nuts. The opal is absolutely stable because of the motherstone (nut) which surrounds it.

The opal is absolutely untreated!

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.
