This remarkable Coober Pedy freeform opal weighs 8.05 carats and is cut from a natural fossil shell, showcasing a stunning display of vivid, sparkling colours. Measuring 11.6mm wide, 31.6mm high, and 3.7mm thick, its elegant elongated shape would make a truly spectacular pendant.

The stone features a double-sided finish, with strong colour play on both faces. It carries a small potch inclusion on the back, and two tiny subsurface sand spots on the front, which are both not visible to the naked eye. These natural characteristics do not detract from the gem’s brilliant appearance.

This opal offers beautiful sparkle under both natural light and indoor lighting, revealing flashes of red, green, blue, and purple. Its colour pattern is a unique cross between floral and pinfire, giving it a lively, shifting play-of-colour. Originating from a fossil shell, this opal carries even greater character and rarity, making it a standout piece for collectors or anyone seeking a one-of-a-kind Australian gemstone.
