Natural crystal opal – vibrant play of color – created by...

This extraordinary natural Crystal Opal from Ethiopia displays an intense, almost liquid-looking play of color of rare brilliance. Vibrant greens, fire-red, orange and yellow tones traverse the translucent opal body and unfold in spectacular depth depending on the light. The color play appears dynamic, lively, and powerful – a clear hallmark of opals of the highest quality. The opal is in its natural rough form, underscoring its authenticity and uniqueness. The partially preserved matrix frames the crystalline opal in a natural way and enhances the contrast between the raw earth structure and the glassy opal transparency. Every viewing angle reveals new color facets and light reflections – no two areas are alike. Such Crystal Opals are among the most sought-after pieces from Ethiopian deposits and are highly valued by discerning collectors as well as lovers of extraordinary natural art. A true one-of-a-kind piece that combines the raw power of the earth with fascinating elegance.
