A CLASSIC, OLD-TIME Japanese specimen from the 1800s! A large, rich and showy vug is filled with snow-white opal in a nicely contrasting volcanic clast matrix. The old label is glued to the bottom of a 10.6 x 9.1 cm wooden box! Really an antique artifact in itself. This old-timer is from an uncommon locality.
