Blue opal cab ~
Offered here is a deluxe cabochon of blue opal, the largest I've ever offered. Even though there's no fire, I really hesitate to call it 'common opal', because it's certainly anything BUT common. This astonishing material is a fairly recent find from Oregon's Succor Creek formation, at the edge of the Owyhee breaks. And lemme tell ya folks, it's mighty appealing stuff! It has a super-saturated blue hue that's to-die-for gemmy, with some very subtle lighter streaks, clouds and dots. I was surprised to see that this high domed stone is so translucent when backlit, considering its strong color. Yum! It should be equally beautiful in gold or silver jewelry, no doubt, or it would make a fine addition to any collection. The stone has a generously high and well rounded dome of 7mm, a fun designer shape, and a totally glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 42x26mm
Weight: approximately 38 carats
