Dazzling large piece of Opal from the famous Virgin Valley deposits. This Opal has gorgeous red, green, and blue flashes with gem Opal on both top and bottom. With its oval shape, it looks for all the world like a section of bone that has been opalized, but it is actually from a fossil tree limb, now replaced and cast forever into gem opal. Now this is a fantastic and rich Opal specimen, much of which is gem quality and has some cutting value, from a classic and old US locality. Ex. Charlie Key stock.
