Very Fine Orange Jelly Opal
Wello, Delanta Plateau, Tigray, Ethiopia
This is an extremely fine orange crystal opal which could be mounted as a stunning drop-shaped pendant. Extraordinarily transparent, yet with a distinct orange body color, a full spectral "jelly-like" play-of-fire appears to hover within. This is a world-class opal for the knowledgeable collector.
Weighing approximately 86.63 carats and mounted 63.0 x 23.0 x 10.5mm
