Stunning Precious Opal Doublet, Lightning Ridge, Australia

A particularly eye catching Untreated Black Precious Opal Doublet from Lightning Ridge, Australia. A striking play of color with colors ranging from blue, red, yellow, orange, green, teal and indigo. The pattern reminds one of a surrealist painting or something. Perhaps this is the Earths way of expressing itself in the form of art. The intensity of the fire is impressive as well as the pattern and movement of the colors. I give this Opal a high score acrossed the board.12 x 10 mm3.17 cts outstanding for everyday use. excellent materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
