Wow, what a huge example of a Honeycomb Opal! This Opal has a fantastic rolling color play all over the surface of the stone. Mostly Red, but lots of Orange and Green also and a decent amount of Cyan and Blue.  The back of this Opal is actually brighter than the front side and probably would have been polished the other way but for the fact that the face of the Opal has that rare and desirable Honeycomb pattern all over it. Those who know Opal know how rare it is to find an Honeycomb Opal of this size and quality.  Very well priced.

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 to    verify    identity and natural origin.
