THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED OPAL. Expect flaws and inclusions. I do not sell lab produced or glass filled stones which are not considered real gems. Flawless genuine gems are rare and expensive. Flawless fakes and man made gems are plentiful and cheap.. Why Settle for Imitations. This gem is approx. 11.9 cwt. Broad flashfire pattern. Please read the IMPORTANT TERMS AND INFORMATION page at least once as it applies to all listings. ANY questions, please ask.

This gem deserves a gold setting. Get one at wholesale ,now or in future

I have been a gemologist for decades and I am now retired and do this to raise funds for animal sanctuaries. My selling price is determined by what I had to pay, and it is always far below retail replacement value. The retail replacement figure is designed for bricks and mortar jewelers with high overheads. Many of my gems were purchased decades ago.

For those that request it, I can provide my signed and sealed appraisal of $1,400 retail replacement for an additional $5. My estimates are considered conservative, but I have no degrees or initials behind my name. For those preferring an independent appraisal by a master valuer, I have hundreds of gems listed here that have been appraised by master valuer Steven Knight GG,R.M.V. , CJA-CAP. Or i can send to him for his appraisal for $45. Takes about a week. Questions? Please ask
