Description

Opal

Opalville Mine
Queensland, Australia

Discovered in 1989, this is one of the largest (2765 carats) and finest quality boulder opals ever mined. This opal is unique not only for its size but also for its quality---every color of the spectrum is visible which is extremely rare, even in the finest of opals.
