Comment: One side of this opal is densely golden orange, honey colored and almost opaque, while the other side is transparent, like crystal opal with good play-of-color. Fire opal and crystal in one gem. On the side-hand-shot under 'more images' we show the hard separation line between the two zones. In person, and in motion, the areas merge and melt in a beautiful soft color-play. As always with opal, even a single carat gives you a full sized ring-gem of near 9x7mm. Broad range of rainbow-hues in its play-of-color. The accompanying IGI report guarantees a natural opal, unoiled, undyed, unwaxed, not impregnated by or boiled in chemicals, its surface unpainted, and so on and on. The two color zones, as shown below, make a unique gem even more special but also help with the budget. Bargain entry into the fascinating world of opals.
