This weighs 2.75 CTS and has been cut into an oval shape. The measurements are approximately 12.1 x 9.0 x 5.0 mm. The opalescent effects and play of color is very strong with this particular stone. This displays a plethora of moving and shifting colors as best seen in the supplied video. There is very few "dead" spots or sections without an iridescent coloring. Flashes of almost every shade are visible throughout the gem's surface. Red and gold are highly prevalent, however many other colors are visible in notable quantities. As with all opals, the colors are most intense when viewed under a light source, either artificial or sunlight. This is a natural gemstone and has been smoke treated to enhance color. Don't be fooled by lesser imitations. This is not a doublet or filled product, this is solid earth mined stone. There is no discernable damage or chips and is in excellent condition.
