Precious Opal on Matrix
Collection
John Betts - Fine Minerals
Description
Colorful
nodule
of
Precious Opal
from the
volcanic
deposits at Mezezo. It's difficult to determine whether this should be a
Black Opal
or a
White Opal
as it is somewhere in the middle. The nodule has been polished to show the pinkish nodule with many bright green and red areas of internal fire (play of colors).
Cut
20 x 16 x 9 mm.
Locality
near Mezezo, Shewa Plateau, Amhara, Ethiopia
