Fantastic 3.10ct red Fire Opal nugget

This exquisite specimen showcases a vibrant, fiery red opal crystal seamlessly integrated with its natural matrix, all adorned with a finely polished luster. Due to the organic nature of opals and their lighter density compared to other gemstones, they possess a remarkable size-to-weight ratio, offering a larger surface area relative to their carat weight. Remarkably sizable, this particular piece measures 10mm x 6mm x 4mm and originates from Ethiopia. Heated only.
