Black Opal From The world Famous Lightning Ridge fields in Australia This is an exceptionally nice and large cab from Lightning Ridge. Historically the highest priced opal and most desirable opal in the world. If you want something VERY SPECIAL, this is the stone for you. YOU WILL NOT SEE MANY OPALS LIKE THIS. It is 18 carats and a generous 25 x 23 x 5 mm cut in a dark/black semi-crystal base cut in a freeform shape to preserve as much of this breathtaking stone as possible. This stone is a bargain hunter's dream! It will become an heirloom to treasure for generations to come. At a jewelry store an opal this size and quality (if you could find it) would cost $80.00 to $100.00 per carat, or around $1500.00 and up. It could be mounted in a custom setting of gold or silver for an exquisite and stunning piece of jewelry, or it would make an enviable collector piece. Metaphysical: Opal is believed to symbolize confidence, purity and serenity. Some believe it can be used to reach the highest spiritual level and increase internal vision. In English speaking countries, opal is considered to bring good luck. I have included an "mpeg video" so you can see the stone and it's fire in motion and get a better idea of what you are getting. The video is well worth the small 1/4 megabyte download - about 70 seconds to download on a 56k modem. |
