WELCOME, THANK YOU VIEWING.
YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU LOVE OPALS. SO IN ORDER FOR YOU  TO
MAKE AN INFORMED BIDDING DECISION, I'LL TELL YOU A FEW THINGS
YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW.
COLLECTORS AND CONTINUAL BUYERS OF OPAL JEWELRY KNOW THAT
THERE ARE ETHIOPIAN AND AUSTRALIAN OPALS.  (ETHIOPIAN "E") OPALS
HAVE THEIR OWN CHARACTERISTICS AND SOME ARE BREATHTAKING.
HOWEVER, SOME MAY NOT KNOW THAT RIGHT OFF THE BAT AUSTRALIAN
OPALS COMMAND AS MUCH AS 30 TIMES THE PRICE OF E OPALS. AND BLACK
OPALS COMMAND THE HIGHEST OF ALL AUSTRALIAN OPALS.
THE MOST IMPORTANT FACT THAT DETERMINES IN GENERAL WHY A OPALS
COST MORE IS THAT THEY ARE MINED,  LIKE DIAMONDS, DEEP BELOW THE
SURFACE OF THE EARTH.
THE MOST EXPENSIVE COLOR OF ANY OPAL IS RED. ALSO YOU HAVE BOLDER
OPALS, FIRE OPALS, CRYSTAL OPALS AND THE LIST CONTINUES. BUT I WON'T
CONTINUE WITH THE HISTORY ON THIS. JUST KNOW THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE
OPAL RELATIVE TO IT'S COLOR AND SIZE, IT'S POLISH AND CLARITY AND MORE.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO OPALS, YOU MAY FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM IF YOU LOOK UP
THE HISTORY.
OPALS, BESIDE DIAMONDS AND RUBIES ARE ONE OF MY GREAT GEMSTONE LOVES.
I CALL THIS THE "MYSTIC OPAL"  AND YOU'LL SEE THE REASON IN THE PHOTOS.
OPALS PRESENT A DEFINITE CHALLENGE WHEN PHOTOGRAPHING BECAUSE THE
CAMERA TRIES TO FOCUS ON A SINGLE PLANE. BUT, THIS OPAL HAS MANY PLANES,
DEPTHS AND COLORS. THUS CAUSING THE FOCUS TO CHANGE CONTINUALLY AND
HOPEFULLY GET A GOOD SHOT TO PRESENT TO YOU.
BECAUSE i DID EXTREME CLOSEUP WORK WITH LIGHT PENETRATING THE OPAL
TO GREAT DEPTH, I SAW IN THIS OPAL SOME MARVELOUS QUALITIES. I HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED IN GEM COLLECTING AND JEWELRY MAKING MANY, MANY DECADES AND YOU
WILL SEE THE OPAL IN A PENDANT MOUNTING THAT HAS NOT BEEN SET YET AND DOES
NOT COME WITH THE GOLD PENDANT. IT JUST MADE IT EASIER TO PHOTOGRAPH.
THIS OPAL WILL BLOW YOUR MIND WITH THE INTENSE LIGHTENING STREAKS OF PURE
GREEN AND WHAT I CALL OPTIC BLUE . THOUGH I HAVE TRIED TO CAPTURE THE BLUE
COLOR AS I SEE IT, YOU WILL HAVE TO EXPERIENCE IT YOURSELF.  IT IS THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL BLUE I HAVE EVER SEEN AND IS STUNNING.
THE OPAL MEASURES 8.7mm X 7.54mm X 4.76 mm. THE DEPTH OF THE STONE CAUSES
IT TO DISPLAY THE MOST WONDERFUL ARRAY OF COLOR.  THE POLISH IS EXCELLENT.
THE COLORS COMPLIMENT ANY OTHER JEWELRY ITEMS AND CLOTHES. WHAT IS NOT
SHOWN IS HOW IT TURNS TO VIOLETS AND SHIMMERS OF GOLD WITH RED FLECKS.
THAT IS WHY I CALL IT THE MYSTIC OPAL.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER OWNED AN OPAL OR PURCHASED ONE IN A RETAIL STORE
THAT IS MORE THAN LIKELY A CREATED OPAL, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR BY
OWNING A BLACK OPAL; NOT ONLY FOR BEAUTY, BUT INVESTMENT. BLACK
OPALS ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN GOLD OR DIAMONDS.  ENJOY !!!
