Description
Fantastic pale pink precious opal from Idaho. Normally this opal occurs in under 1 mm thick bands in volcanic rock and it has to be polished down to that thin surface to expose the fire prior to even cutting it into a usable gemstone.
This specimen is larger and has a brilliant oil slick-like fire (bands of color) along one side and a traditional play of color fire on the backside. This type of opal is colored pink from volcanic rhyolite and is highly prized for its unusual base color.
This specimen is photographed dry. One-of-a-kind piece.
Take a look at the video! The video shows the play of color perfectly, but the pink base color is a little off in it. The pink is better in the images.
We strive to take the best pictures possible that truly represent the specimen. You will always receive the specimen in the picture unless otherwise stated. We do not alter the colors of the mineral/gemstone in photoshop. We do commonly remove or alter the background to remove anything that will distract from the center piece of the picture.
Do not miss out on this specimen. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I realize International Shipping many times is expensive. The international shipping price listed will always be for Priority Shipping,
if you would prefer the slower and cheaper First-Class mail service, please let me know and I will adjust the shipping cost.
