The piece on the scale is what is on offer, to the side opals are not.
Total weight approx per scale is shown in photos but I go a little conservative in title.
I took pictures mostly wet some Dry, flash on and flash off. One is of Back, which has not been cleaned and looks like clay rock.
There is also a YouTube video
These are really hard to get good pictures of, so a take a lot of photos for you. Scroll through to see detail.
Lots of color saturation. host as shown.
I included pics of this with a measure tape to show relative size. It's a nice sized chunk of opals in host and authentic Australian precious opal.
Please review all photos as they are part of the description.
I took photos from all angles to show condition and tried to get the colors to show.
All sales final, these are estate opals, not new.
NOTE. I'm tired of people buying opals then seeing them dry and thinking idkwhat. If you don't understand these are not cut and polished yet, and rough is always a gamble, don't buy. Please. Most rough is duller dry. There can be mineral skins dulls until polished or wet), Host rock, mud or clay. Flash on cameras n pics gives us the ability to see the colors within. You still have to clean or cut etc to reveal what is inside. FYI. If this was a world class opal insanely n1 n2 full of fire guaranteed cutter grade, I would say so. These are cutter gamble, and truly beautiful. I use flash in pictures, no black light.
Appreciate them for what they are. Not one of the stones on offer are colorless. I say so if so and pictures are unaltered.
I am selling off a large estate of minerals, silver, gold, coins, textiles, Lacework, silk, fine jewelry and pottery etc. Later today and over the coming weeks will be some VERY old copper pots, pans, dough bowls, NOT repro's. opals, gold bangles and more.
Please review all photos as they are part of the description. All sales final. Gold and coins and higher end one of a kind ship with insurance for you.
Note : IMPORTANT Picture clarity and color may be different for each user, I am not responsible for clarity or color, all photos blurry etc. These things often are impacted by inidividual screens, intrnet connection etc. If they are blurry - all of them - i suggest using your computer vs phone, phone vs computer or a better internet connection. Also, colors can differ from monitor or phone etc. If you want an extra picture messag e me an d I will do my best to get another to you. I take at a minimum 6-20 pictures to show detail. Especially tiny items, or raw gold, opals and crystals can be difficult to show precise detail. I use a Samsung Flip4 for pictures....Thank you and enjoy :)
