Firey "Nobby" Opal
Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia
Giving the appearance of a much larger stone, this fine pear-shaped cabochon has a vivid red Chinese writing pattern within the deep black body color—or does one see a dragon? The pure black opal to the reverse side is another indication of the fact that this opal originated from a nodule. A fine stone for the collector. Weighing approximately 3.85 carats and measuring 13.1 x 9.0 x 5.0mm
