Comment: Finally, a true water-opal, meaning a crystal-opal without any body-color. But not only this, also with the utterly best play-of-color I have seen, ever, so far. All colors are equally represented, red, blue and green; the complete rainbow up and down, all in shiny neon colors. Like an aquarium overfilled with the most stunning coral fishes in hyper activity. When/if you see this gem in person, you'll immediately understand why he got our most rarified quality-grade of 'excellent++'; oh, and I realize 'it' is spoken of in third person, he or she. The fact that such a gem, as all opals, can be changed by staying under water for years or dry out in the desert for equal time-spans does NOT affect his/her appearance in jewelry as long as you don't have radical change of life-style, one that will most likely be harmful to you, too. No flaws, no inclusions, big and blindingly visible from afar. Pendant size, but we could design a far-out world-shattering cocktail-ring with him/her. IGI report, WLT purchase, NhRP donation, free shipping, and other WildFish extras come free of charge.
P.S. I started to shoot my usual five dozen images of a personal favorite but the day is over and was too long. Those who have seen an excellent++ from our stock know what it means. If you want more images, just let us know.
