Examples of this rather intensely colored translucent opal are instantly recognizable for their color - such fine material comes only, to our knowledge, from Peru.  High quality, larger gems are scarce to be sure - small, clean stones can be had but any fine example over a carat or carat is actually relatively scarce.  Remember that opal has a low specific gravity, so this stone 9.4 x 6.4 mm, facing up even larger than its 1.21 ct. weight.  In addition, the stone has a great precision radiant cut.
