Description


Gemstone: Opal Free-Form - 4.83 Cts.
Ethiopia
18.13 x 12.12 x 6.34 mm

This vibrant, free-form Opal bursts with color, showcasing a dazzling play-of-color in electric green, neon blue, fiery orange, and hints of pink. The surface is smoothly polished to highlight its natural contours, allowing light to ripple across the gem in broad flashes and patches. The gem's organic shape lends a 'one-of-a-kind' character, making it as much a sculptural art piece as a gemstone. With rich saturation and consistent brightness throughout, this Opal, weighing nearly 5 carats, offers both visual energy and fluid form. This is a standout specimen perfect for collectors, custom designers, or lovers of truly unique natural treasures.


Estimate: $400 - up.
