"Lovely solid Opal with A nice radiant colorful flash from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. The color is as depicted, each Opal is a unique phenomenon of color and design. This class of gem Opal are rising in value good colorful opals are becoming scarce. This beautiful Opal gem weighs 1.71 carat. In all, a very beautiful piece. This is a genuine natural opal, nice cut, ready to set. We pay good money for rough and out of that we have many overheads, the rough we buy in bulk but only 10% is has any reasonable color, 70% is lost in cutting. I class my self as a safe seller within reason we will do our best for you. We try to bring a good product at a fair price and we dont sell doublets triplets or gilson. Thanks for your support.''

Precious opal is a hydrous silicon dioxide material that flashes iridescent colors when it is viewed from different angles, when the stone is moved or when the light source is moved. This phenomenon is know as a "play of color" or an "opalescence". Most precious opals will flash a number of colors such as bright yellow, orange, green, blue, red or purple. Play of color is the characteristic of opal that makes it such a popular gem. The desirability of opal is based upon color Intensity, diversity, uniformity, pattern and ability to be seen from any angle.
