ORMI067

LARGE gem material. Believe it or not, the pix do NOT do this justice - it is flash fire from all directions, all through the piece. Don't mind keeping it to be honest :)
No special cutting problems, sand to final contours and polish - just know what you are doing as this NOT rough to be wasted, GEORGEOUS. The predominate color is a lot of brilliant red, despite the pix which do not show the red much at all (most of what appears blank areas in the pix is RED).
19.3 carat preform, 28-23-4 mm ... SOLD.

There is some fantastic fire here, BUT it is highly directional, depending on viewing angle and light source angle. You will also see a bit of matrix coming up into the surface. The fire is also just near the surface - room to only sand & polish, must be a low-dome cab.

All of which is clear in the price :) The white base and thin black are the natural host to this type opal, it is NOT a doublet.
7+ carat preform, 19-10-4.5 mm ... $25.

Very nice fire throughout - better than pix. There should be no large fireless areas in the cab with proper orientation and cutting.

Anyone can cut a decent gem from this, but the experienced cutter with cover the surface with brilliant fire.
7 carat preform rubbed, 19x17x14- 4 mm thick ... $50.
