Translucent crystal opal green banding and undertone of orange fire from Lightning Ridge, NSW, Australia.
Australian crystal opals are a type of precious opal known for their translucent nature and vibrant "play-of-colour," a phenomenon caused by the diffraction of light through tiny silica spheres within the stone. They are valued for their clarity and transparency, which enhances the appearance of their colour. Unlike common opals, which are opaque, crystal opals are translucent, allowing light to pass through them.
Measurements: 10.8mm wide x 7.5mm
Weight: 1.65 carats
Grading:
Translucent - polished both sides
B2 Bright - Nice bright colour play in artifical light, shade and sunlight
