Blue opal cab ~
Here is a wild little cabochon of blue opal. Even though there's no fire, I really hesitate to call it 'common opal', because I'm certain it's anything BUT common. This mind-blowing material is a brand new find, fresh from Oregon's Succor Creek formation, at the edge of the Owyhee breaks. And lemme tell ya folks, it's truly astonishing stuff. It has a super-saturated blue hue that's to-die-for gemmy, and a close look reveals some very subtle lighter streaks. I was surprised to see that the stone is so highly translucent when backlit, considering the strong vibrant color. It's WOW!! It should be equally beautiful in gold or silver jewelry, no doubt, or it would make a fine addition to any collection. The stone has a low but well rounded dome, a sleek curvy shape, and a perfect glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 34x22mm
Weight: approximately 20 carats
Price: $62.00
