Lightning Ridge Australian crystal opal.
This is the kind of piece that reminds me why I got into opal in the first place. The play-of-color isn’t just sitting on the surface; it’s inside the entirety of the stone, endless layers of fire, shifting as you move it. Strong red and blue dominance among the entire rainbow with full-spectrum fire coming through depending on the light.
It has that clean crystal body that lets the color breathe and layer, not just flash once and disappear. Brightness holds in different lighting, not just under a flashlight.
Natural, untreated Australian material.
Currently running this through a private auction which is ending soon. I was going to keep it to my current customers only but decided to post it on here either way, more so for the fact that it’s too beautiful not to share.
If you’re into opal, you’ll understand what this is.
