Translucent crystal opal 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: 2.5mm wide x 5.1mm
Weight: 0.25 carats
Grading:
Translucent - polished both sides
B3 Bright - Nice Colour Play in shade and sunlight
