Top grade natural wood fossil boulder opal from Queensland Australia
Hand cut and polished with exceptional attention to finish
Neon rainbow fire through ancient fossil wood structure
Rare concave face enhances light movement
October birthstone with premium brilliance
Description:
This 10.78ct top grade wood fossil boulder opal from Queensland is a masterfully finished gemstone with elite fire and a unique concave structure.
Cut and polished with extreme care using fine hand tools, the glassy curved face brings out vivid neon fire in a spectrum of colors including red green blue orange yellow and violet.
Every angle reveals a new layer of depth and brilliance.
Set within an ancient fossilized wood matrix, the opal's color shimmers like a galaxy of light against earthy ironstone.
Its sculptural form is not only visually rare but also technically difficult to achieve.
This level of fire combined with expert polish and natural fossil detail makes this a world class example of Australian opal.
No treatments no fillers no synthetic backing.
This is a one piece opal chosen for its rare fire and carefully shaped to enhance its full potential.
Ideal for a luxury pendant or centerpiece in a fine gemstone collection.
