Silky 3.22ct liquid flashing Black Opal

This gorgeous piece exhibits a mix of block and ribbon flashing that moves through its body in liquid waves of blues and greens and indigos under its glistening liquid luster. The flash pattern rolls across its face, accented by its rich gray black hue. Since opals have less density than other gemstones it has fantastic size, measuring 11mm x 10.3mm x 6.5mm, and total saturation giving its translucent body an opaque look. Sourced from Welo, Ethiopia. Unheated!
