48 carat Australian Jelly Opal!

Thanks! I just cut another one. This one a little smaller than the others and with the green fire mixed in with the blue (but not the patch of just minty green). This one is very clean and crystally. I wish the photos showed it off better.......because this doesn't really show how the blue, purple, and green dance throughout the stone. I made another attempt at making a little video of this 48 carat jelly opal and it's taken in direct sunlight and gives a little more perspective on this stone.

The auctions for the other three opals end tomorrow evening and there's a number of watchers and they've received a lot of views, so I'm hopeful to do well with them. I just finished a weekend of having an open studio as one of 100 artist in the Portland Open Studios tour and these stones got a lot of attention! Thanks for looking!
