A magnificent, 19th century example of precious gem opal from Slovakia!!! This is the classic, historic
locality for precious gem opal long before the modern finds in Australia!!! This specimen hosts a significant
showing of incredibly fiery, rainbow colored precious opal on matrix!!! It is difficult to appreciate from the
pictures, but this specimen has absolutely gorgeous rainbow-colored fire within!!!
This historic opal from Slovakia is quite characteristic by comparison to more commonly seen precious opal from Australia!!!
This specimen is way better than the pictures show - the fire is very lively and dynamic in person!!! These historic 19th century Slovak opal specimens
are next to impossible to acquire and this is a very handsome specimen indeed!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
