These are$110 each or $70 each if buying over 50. Again fantastic colours and no guessing along with great prices. This opal took a lot of money to mine then a lot of time was taken to prefinish each stonc. Still because of buying in large lots and bargaining I can bring You prices

This piece weighs 15 carats or 3 grams. Measures 21.56x 15.22x 5.68mm. Very nice red blue green that constantly changes wen rotated. The face could show more colour on this piece when finished as the colour bar is only 1/2mm under the potch on some of the face.
Here's another just to give you an idea of what their all like. This one looks like the surfs up. I'll call it Surfs Up. I take so long putting these up on the site as I can't stop looking over them all. They all are so beautiful I can see why men spend their whole lives searching for the stuff. The standard of living is low but the morale is high. One guy told me in Andamooka "the wife's gone the kids are gone but I'm still here". Weighs 4.59 grams or 22.95 carats. Measures 23.54x 21.68X 5.83mm.

This one has a very bright blue green colour that's outstanding. These are so nice I've decided to finish one for myself I'll have to get a local goldsmith to cast the holding for it after I finish the stone. This one weighs 1.30 grams or 6.5 carats. Measures 16.8x 10.35x 4.94mm. I'd say one "Y would cut off about 2.5 carats to finish this stone properly. You can see that the bottom portion of the stone has no colour therefore could be removed. This would make either a lovely pendant or large ring stone
