Huge! 8.46ct fully natural Welo Opal! Fantastic material!

Don't miss this simply amazing OPAL! Sourced from the Welo region of Ethiopia, this substantial gemstone is so natural, it even has a small void with matrix on its underside. But the strong play of color is what makes this piece really stand out. It shows a strong mix of wide chaff patterns interlaced with floral patterns to create a highly textured full bodied visual experience. Different lighting effects the showing and intensity of its play of color, altering the relationship between its patterns and switching pattern dominance to give you an ever changing display held under a smooth polished liquid luster. The colors of this piece are suspended through preferred jelly opal clarity with just a touch of white that amplifies there visual presence. Greens, oranges, and golds compete for your attention with a constant showing of turquoise, periwinkle, and violet swirling in the background. The photos should just be used as a reference to color and pattern, focusing more on the shape, as this opal has a much more impressive showing in hand. This remarkable opal measures 19.4mm x 14.9mm x 6.6mm, and is untreated.
