Description/Interesting Notes:
An outstanding and showy example of this prized gem species from Australia!!! This specimen
consists of a large, striking example of precious opal var. boulder opal that exhibits a
particularly large and intense band of CHOICE, dramatic, rainbow-colored fire wihtin!!! I cannot
stress enough just how much better this specimen is in person compared to the pictures - this specimen
has magnificent fire throughout, with large, brilliant patches of intense greens and blues in addition to thick
bands of sparkly, rainbow colored fire, and broad areas of glowing, translucent metallic purple - all set off by a
dramatic stripe of bright yellow colored opal!!! This specimen is absolutely stunning in person!!! A very
eye-catching and aesthetic display piece indeed!!! Don't miss out on this incredible and valuable gemstone!!! Old material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired
the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting
minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was
originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
