Description
~ yellow opal cab ~

Offered here is a cabochon of lovely yellow opal. I suspect this originated near Napa, California, as it seems exactly like some other opal I have from that source. This material is deemed "common" opal because it has no fire, but it is anything but common in the other sense of the term. This example features gemmy translucent lemon yellow coloration, with an odd pattern of sugary dots in most of the stone. It has a nicely rounded dome just shy of 6mm, and a soft & versatile teardrop shape, polished both front and back.

Size: 36x23mm
Weight: approximately 32 carats
