Ask Peter About This Item
Boulder opal from Winton Queensland. Stones like this are becoming rarer as the opal fields are running out. The price of Opal, unlike many gemstones is influenced by supply and demand, not by international cartels who agree on price increases. Hence, opal is destined to go up in value as the supply becomes more restricted which is happening at present. The color of these stones is completely natural, in contrast to diamonds [for example] which depend on man made facets to reflect the spectrum colors. email peter@opalmine.com for design ideas under the 'Brusacci' design label. This matching set has some very strong green colors and one piece has a boomerang shape.
