What a fantastic collectors piece. What you have here is an amazing example of pure untreated Ethiopian opal. Even though the pictures and video only highlight the red aspects of its play of color, in hand this gem shows well blended oranges and yellows, all intertwined in a shimmering snakeskin pattern suspended under a glistening liquid luster. These colors don't stand out against its silky black body as much as blend into it, creating a balance between the positive and negative spaces in the opal that seamlessly flow into each other. And since opals have less density than other gems the size to weight ratio of this piece is incredible, giving you an impressive 10mm x 8mm x 5.5mm! Don't miss this one of a kind opal!!!
