10.5" Polished Pink Opal Section - Western Australia

This is a 10.5" wide, section of richly colored pink opal. One side has been cut flat and polished to a mirror like finish. This piece has a very sturdy base and displays nicely on its own without the need for a stand.

The horizontal seam from which this pink opal specimen came from, was discovered in Western Australia in 2011. Prior to its discovery, pink opal was only known to occur in Peru. Pink opal from this location displays a wide range of pink hues, from dark rose pink to nearly white.
