I posted this stone in another thread, but figured I should be specific to attract the attention of the opal experts. Here's the original, if you're curious ... https://www.pricescope.com/communit...ing-of-their-work-and-offered-to-swap.190320/
I know next to nothing about opals ... what would you guys call it? It looks solid with the glittering blue flashes against the grey background (which are so bright it almost looks fluorescent), but it's actually translucent, which I tried to capture in the last shot.
For example ... is it like this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lightning-R...372?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ac64cd2cc
Can anybody tell me what kind of an opal this is? And if it's an okay example? I'd love to know what to look for in terms of type, quality, comparable stones, etc.
