A SPECTACULAR and OLD-TIME Virgin Valley, Nevada opal. This lightly buffed beauty scintillates with green and lavender to blue fire within the water-clear opal, which is on a bit of matrix. The bit of interior crazing is certainly not a detraction, as you can see. Ex. Flack, Richard Hauck and John Ydren Collections. This super showy piece was collected circa 1930, according to the Hauck label.
