Opal Rough- 9.8 g

Rough opal is a mineraloid prized primarily for its dazzling play-of-color, a phenomenon caused by the interference and diffraction of light within its unique silica spheres. Unlike polished or cut opal gems, rough opal retains its natural exterior, allowing collectors and lapidaries to appreciate the stone in its raw form. Weighing 9.8 grams, this opal specimen showcases the potential beauty trapped within its unrefined state. Opal occurs in a variety of types and colors, and rough forms are often sought after for cutting and shaping into jewelry or for display by mineral enthusiasts who value the natural texture and origin of the stone.
