This amazing piece of solid opal was mined in Coober Pedy, the piece is an intriguing and dazzling gemstone. It has incredible blue green fire from some angle while more subdued fire from other angle. The piece is fairly translucent so will need a closed back setting in jewellery to show off its best colour. This gem will make a fabulously standout piece of jewellery.
The piece was cut in house by Lawson Gems in their Brisbane Arcade store.
