Beautiful Opal From The world Famous Lightning Ridge fields in Australia
This is an extremely nice "nobbie" rough Opal from Lightning Ridge. This material is OLD STOCK and it should be noted that nobbie material has been "dug out" and there are no new nobbies coming out of the "Lightning Ridge" area. Currently from this area, only seam opal is available, so these are really special. This is historically the highest priced and most prized opal in the world - very difficult to get at any, let alone good quality.
If you want something
VERY SPECIAL to cut and finish, this is it. GOOD LUCK!

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.
