A striking, 3-sided, polished opal specimen from the famous Virgin Valley District of Nevada. The primary side glows with candy-apple green and orange-red flashes and more muted blue tones. The other two sides have beautiful purple tones with flashes of red and the candy-apple green colors. A highly representative and beautiful example of this classic material, now hard to obtain. These formed in petrified wood logs.
