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. This particular gem is one of the most transparent examples we have seen in recent memory, there is a fine return of light and the stone looks great faceted. In addition, remember that opal has a low specific gravity, so this stone faces up even larger than its 2.14 ct. weight. Exceptional example of the highest quality.
