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 some of the most incredible rainbow colored fire that I have
ever seen in an opal!!! This historic opal from Slovakia is quite characteristic by comparison to more commonly seen precious opal from Australia!!!
This specimen is WAY, WAY better than the pictures show - the fire will absolutely knock your socks off in person!!! This is truly
a striking gem with impressive and dynamic rainbow colored fire within!!! These
historic 19th century Slovak opal specimens are next to impossible to acquire and this is a magnificent specimen indeed!!! This specimen
retains an old, 19th century label and affixed catalogue number as well!!! Simply incredible in person!!! Don't miss out on this rare
opportunity!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
