7.5" Polished Pink Opal Section - Western Australia

This is a 7.5" wide, section of richly colored pink opal. One side has been cut flat and polished to a mirror like finish. It has a very thick and sturdy cut which allows for a unique presentation 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.
