SC03CRY2

A very fine crystal opal gem. Skin to skin fire, brilliant from all angles, with strong greens - blues, yellows, gold, and orange add to the palette, as usual my pictures do not begin to show the fire well ... this is a recommended BUY at $225.00.
Many images so you can see that the fire is real from all directions. The gem is so translucent that the body color varies with background, therefore YOU CANNOT TELL or judge the color of the gem from any picture! How you mount how you mount or display the gem will determine its body color.
Impossible to catch the full fire in this gem. True crystal has the advantage of letting glimmers of fire come from the depths to the eye, and the subtle shadings in this gem are beyond the camera's ability (at least as seen on the web).
This is a bit better shot and you can see some hint of the fire gleaming through the gem. This one calls for a nice, well-designed setting which shows the body as you want it and reveals the fire ... it is especially fine on the sides. A large gem for crystal (8.8+ carats).

Even the back is aglow! The fine translucence is proof of the crystal and proves that no flaws lurk within.
