This is a large chunk of solid opal, the most important part of the specimen being the transparent "jelly opal" with a glowing internal light (the white part of the specimen is also opal, but is not particularly colorful or fiery). This "jelly opal" part of the specimen measures around 3 cm across and 1.5 cm thick, so it is a rich piece for the collector or the lapidary! Worth? I don't know, as it came in a collection and I am not an opal expert, but I suspect its very good! 4.3 x 3.5 x 3.1cm
