Gem: Vascular Opal Weight: 5.21 cts. Size: 13.5 x 10.3 mm. Color: Red, Orange, Yellow and White Clarity: I Cut: Cushion Locality: Northern Mexico Treatment: None
Here is something fantastic! This is Vascular Opal! This material was found this year in northern Mexico. The name is derived from the red vein formations that look like blood vessels in the yellow body of the Opal. This stone has an interesting “cloud” formation that looks like bodily tissue. This Opal is harder than traditional Mexican Opal, it cuts and polishes more like an Agate than and Opal. This material also fluoresces bright green under short wave UV! This stone will make a one of a kind pendant that will be fascinating! I have never seen an Opal quite like this before. It is such an exciting new material and is from a small mining production. This excellent new Opal is completely natural and untreated! Enjoy!
