This is one of my favourite opals in our collection. it is a picture stone showing the Effiel tower. Can you see it? Reminds me of sitting in the Parc du Champ de Mars looking at the Effiel tower! Beautiful
Tell us a little more about this opal. What is the black component. It looks dendritic. Is it natural or the result of treatment? Where was it found?
ROM is close, it is a Queensland Boulder stone but it came from Jundah. About 250km's away from Quilpie. The opal has no teatments applied at ll. It is completly natural.
I am not sure what the black is. I always just assumed it was common potch opal without the play of colour. Now that I am half a gemologist I should try and figure it out
haha Tim, when I show this stone people either see a tower or a dragon. Never a giraffe before. hmmm maybe I can market it towards Africans now, thx
