That’s really, really cool! But the Arkenstone does not have that play of color

I wish I can visit you one day to view your collections.

This opal, high dome of such a size & colour play...

You're right, next time I'll take photo with a big moonstone

It would probably be more true to the movie.

But I prefer your opal

It’s Thorin Okenshield from The Hobbit (Tolkien, Lord of the rings should ring a bell).

The figure of Thorin Oakenshield is around 10" tall, if I recall correctly.

If it were that size IRL then maybe $4,000,000 worth.
