Hi wekcome to CW :-)
The "opal" is actually inkaid abalone/paua shell!
Your pen is a beauty! Any mark on it and on the nib?
You can upload up to 4 pics, by edit item button, please post more.
See there, scroll down to the abalone part:

Thank you so much kyratago...I uploaded 4 additional pictures and didn't know where to look for markings! lol....It looks like: A A Watermen New York with a number 5. Is this pen worth something? Any additional insight would be greatly appreciated...Many thanks!
Thanks for the thanks ;-))
You'll have to explore internet to find a site about vintage/antique fountain pens! (Yous is an oldie!)
