Opals (Set of 2) Yowah opal field, Paroo Shire...
Opals (Set of 2) Yowah opal field, Paroo Shire Queensland Australia This unique offering consists of an Opal nodule from Yowah, Australia. This particular piece is a cut and polished "nut" with two pieces. These specimens are referred to as "Yowah Nuts" and are created when Sandstone becomes permeated by Opal. The brown earthy Sandstone contrasts nicely against the Opal creating this lovely offering. This highly aesthetic Opal displays incredibly rich hues of purple and blue, which almost appear electric. There are also other pockets of white Opal with a strong "play-of-color." This is an outstanding and most unique collector specimen worthy of any display case. Overall Measurements: 3.68 x 3.22 x 1.04 inches (9.35 x 8.17 x 2.65 cm) Provenance: Central Coast Collection [Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
