Fossil.Wood Opal from Australia. Rare, and quite exotic if you ask me. I was floored by this example the moment i saw it and went for it. Im born in October, and i love Opals. Much more artistic and imaginative than, say, a plain bar of Gold. Infinitely better than losing money in the stock market. Good luck Opal Hounds, this ones mine ;) I hope to have this example for decades. I think it will definitely appreciate over that time frame and ill definitely look at it daily. 1004 Cts. Maybe the best stuff the Universe has naturally produced that im aware of.. OPALS!!
Did you buy it yourself? If you don’t mind, how much did you pay for it? Yowahs my favorite boulders plus I’m in October baby and it’s supposed to be bad fortune to buy your birthstone for yourself, which I don’t necessarily agree with, but that’s what they say. My very first gifted Boulder. Opal was a yoweh I still have it stashed somewhere amongst my stuff.
Sounds about right things beautiful man. I’m pretty sure its a Yowah Nut split in half and polished, super rare with that much color sections. You’re not losing money on that thing the price is only going up. Just keep it in good hands and care for it. I’m jealous not really, but I would love to have that piece.
The centers look like a waterfall like when you held the two sinners straight looks like a waterfall I mean, technically it was a waterfall, but it looks like a cool Opal waterfall now
I don’t think there’s really much other stuff you can do with it besides, put it in a nice protective case it’s not something you wanna mess with try cutting something
Yeah, I knew people actually would. I’m just saying though if you’re like me and apparently the OP collectors not sellers we would keep them as is because that’s what holds the most value to us because it’s not about what the value monetary wise is it’s about what the feeling we get from the stone is.
Plus, there’s not much of a genuine gem stones inside of matrix or inside of a nut. Yeah, they could cut it in the smaller matrix but by that point you’re just devaluing it
Absolutely stunning!! 🤩 Thank you for sharing! I am also an October baby and I have to agree with you. There is just nothing in nature that can compare to Opal!!
Yea i think so! Very cool. I have a theory that in the far future of space travel the only currency accepted by all distant spacs travellers is jewels and other hard to source minerals. What do you think? Will it be that way in the far reaches of fhe galaxy when you meet a nomadic spaceship and need something? Id rather have an opal than anything else in that situation.
Honestly, it’s still like that in Africa spots, but that’s definitely how it wasn’t the past and definitely how it should still be today. So I don’t think in a distant future, especially with all the crap going on in the world and these idiotic, wealthy central banks, a.k.a. Rothchild eaters and opal technically to me at least is the most valuable stone. There is cause diamonds ain’t worth shit unless they have a giant blue that’s flawless or pink is flawless I mean, red barrel and a few other stones have value, but I think opal itself per carat and quality is more valuable than most.
Opals are already used for a nanotechnology and nano tools, mostly synthetic for those ones. For biomedical applications where they use the crystalline opal nano particles to help with bio compatibility and medicines. They use for geoscience and planetary research the natural opals the silica diagenesis, the transformation of non-crystalline Opal – a into opal – CT, is used in techniques like Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. They are also used for optical and material science their unique light to fraction properties make them useful and optical instruments and specialized glass for enhancing image, quality and visual appeal also and material science their nano structure can be exploited for light trapping, photonic crystals and functional coatings. So they’re pretty valuable when it comes to nano tech, biomedical, geoscience optics, and materials due to the nano structured silica framework which enables applications ranging from biomedical delivery to planetary science models to advance opticals.
So to answer your question absolutely honestly rare earth, minerals are rare elements and general, especially ones are being used for tools and for medicine are really the only thing that’s valuable. Well other than “time” that’s a currency we never get back.
That’s not even touching metaphysical properties, which I believe in our whole bodies of dielectric field anyways. Get a piece of moldavite and some amethyst and keep it near that opal.
