Item #G29a

Item # G29

This stunning OPAL is so very unusual as this stone can project an astounding color change. It will show wonderful and warm red, gold, and bronze colors, but when angled slightly differently, this opal will instantly display bright, emerald green colours, with soft touches of royal blue.

This opal originally was about twice in size, but our third generation German opal cutter, originally from Idar-Oberstein, spent several weeks gently hand shaping and contour cutting this extremely rare and beautiful opal to bring it to its maximum potential.

This Opal will go to a collector and connoisseur for whom only the best will do.
