Description

OPAL SOLID - BLACK (N2/N3) - 1.82 CTS 12MM x 8MM X 2MM MATERIAL FROM MINTABIE FIELDS SA This magnificent opal has been cut as a oval design. It is a nice size for a ring or pendant. The colour play is small to medium pinfire of blue and green on a very dark background. There is a rolling flash of both colours when rotated. The back comprises light and dark grey potch while at one end it is translucent transforming it with crystal qualities. Rated by me as N2/3 in body tone - well within the ranking of black opals. Shaped in a oval pattern, it has been finished with a low cabochon top and flat bottom. It weighs 1.82cts and measures 12mm x 8mm and is 2mm thick. The attached photos form an integral part of the description. Please note that the attached photos were taken by a Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile phone in natural light or under an LED desk lamp. Apart from cropping they have not been enhanced in any way. I am a private seller who was involved in the mining of opal material from the Mintabie, Coober Pedy and Lambina fields for more than 30 years. The material I present for sale (rough or finished) has been either mined or prepared by me and therefore I try to keep prices as realistic as possible. I do not purchase/on-sell any finished products. Please contact me if you have any questions.
