Gem Fire Opal Limb-Cast
Rainbow Ridge Mine, Virgin Valley, Humboldt County, Nevada
Mined in 2009--a lucky find for a fee digging prospector--this is a very fine example of an opalized replacement of a tree limb. Bark texture can still be seen on all of its surfaces and a vivid spectral play-of-color hovers within its "jelly-like"interior. Measures 1 ½ x 1 x ¾ in
Offered in a glass enclosure to easily allow viewing of the fine play-of-color.
