First 2 photos of the new example. Next 2 of my previously aquired examples.

This was a thoughtful gift from my Mom from one of her travels.

Fluorescent in both longwave and midwave, and phosphorescent (glows after the light is off for a short while)

Not the strongest fluorescence, but great hues and complex pattern. Also great in daylight.

Pretty sweet fluorescent as well. Just got it. 🔮

Really sparkles in the light.

Intense sparkle in the light ✨️ from Afghanistan

Pink Opal from Idaho, Boulder Opal Australia, Andamooka Matrix Australia, White Opal Idaho, Hyalite Opal Mexico, and Yowah Nut from Australia

From Afghanistan. Its one of my favorites. The multi color glowing crystal texture is 🔥

Im very impressed. Its gorgeous.

Tugtupite, sodalite, chkalovite, and more in this specimen. It just arrived. Check out the freebies from a kind ebay seller too, impressive Scheelite, Esperite, and others.

Its a stunner. From Spencer Mines Idaho, im lucky to own it.

Have had it for a few years now. Still love it everytime I look.

Fossil.Wood Opal from Australia. Rare, and quite exotic if you ask me. I was floored by this example the moment i saw it and went for it. Im born in October, and i love Opals. Much more artistic and imaginative than, say, a plain bar of Gold. Infinitely better than losing money in the stock market. Good luck Opal Hounds, this ones mine ;) I hope to have this example for decades. I think it will definitely appreciate over that time frame and ill definitely look at it daily. 1004 Cts. Maybe the best stuff the Universe has naturally produced that im aware of.. OPALS!!
