Ask Peter About This Item
Interesting stripes of color in this crystal opal from the Lightning Ridge field. 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. Email peter@opalmine.com for design ideas under the 'Brusacci' design label.
