    I love opals...

    This Australian one does have crazing, lovely colors though, and above all a substantial size!
    29.6 by 18.2mm, 9.2mm depth.

    Some epoxy glue remains on back.

    Backside shows brighter colors!

    Guess what is its state now................... Ô_Ô

      Beautifully colored opal Pascale, it is like looking at the moon's surface on a romantic night. Opal was my grandma's October birthstone & I always have fond memories of this multi color jewel. Fantastique!

      I love opals, too. Where did you find this beauty? I must have been part of a monumental piece of jewelry! Some time ago I found some opals well, but the opal in the necklace has a very fine hairline crack. I bought it anyway because it is still beautiful. I am now motivated to post it soon:)

      Aww, lovely poetic words Jenni! Thank you!

      Freiheit, thanks! An Ebay buy, not really cheap but fine for me ;-))
      I'd love to see your necklace!

      I don't mind the crazing in opals. I know it is supposed to take away from
      the value, etc. but it always seems to me like crazed opals have been around
      for a long time and are still beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.

      Thank you Wpj for your visit and appreciation :-D
      Opals are so fascinating, I don't mind the decreased value of crazed opals either, my kyratisation was only "cosmetic" on this one, and I'd love it as much if it hadn't work :-)
