Description

Bought from the inimitable Miklos Brezanszky, and passing it on to another opal lover. If you know Miklos' work, you know it's -- without fail -- perfection. This SOLID (no doublets or triplets here... ever!) opal is no exception:

An AMAZING 1.81 ct. dark opal from Australia's Lightning Ridge glitters with all colors but especially red and secondarily, blues. I absolutely LOVE this stone, but am going through a divorce - ugh!

Everything about this opal is superb from the cut to the polish to the backs of the opals. I bought it directly Miklos, a second generation opal cutter in Australia. He has cut and polished all of my stones and after doing the opal go-round buying from different sellers, I won't ever buy from anyone/anywhere else.

On Australia's rating system, this stone is considered "dark" and is an N5. It rates 4 out of 5 in brightness.
-The size of the stone is 11 x 7 mm.
-Thickness of the stone is 3.5 mm. Slightly domed.

-As always, the stone looks *so much better* in person

-Please look at the Dropbox folder with a ton of pictures (the nice close-ups were taken by Miklos):

Sales are final so please ask any questions before-hand. Please also be email me at megan [dot] mckee [at] gmail [dotcom] due to LT’s wonky messaging system.

Ships USPS first class to the US with tracking and insurance.

If you are international, subtract $8 from price and I'll charge you actual shipping cost. Insurance is optional.

I accept Paypal and you are welcome to pay with either friends and family or goods/services. Since the latter offers consumer protection, PP (of course) charges a fee that’s just above 3 percent, so I ask if you choose that option to please cover the 3 percent fee.

Thanks for looking!
