OPAL14 - Opal var. Hyalite
$ 135.00 (=~ AUS$ 209.65)
San Luis Potosi, Mexico
small cabinet - 5.3 x 5 x 2.3 cm

This opal has a beautiful contrast of clear internal characteristics, and orange and red highlights within the piece. The clear areas will fluoresce green under short wave. The red/orange areas do not fluoresce as the iron quenches the fluorescence. It has a range of different sized boytroidal bubbles, and a nice depth within the stone. No damage.
