Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE 12.9 Cts. HONDURAS BLACK MATRIX HONDURAN OPAL CABOCHON LOT 2447 STUNNING!!! BRILLIANT play-of-color shifts and changes as you move the angle of the opal gemstone. This opal comes directly from the Tablon mine in Honduras. This gemstone is already cut, polished and ready to mount in a setting of your choice. PHOTOGRAPHS: Our pictures are taken under a high intensity light and cropped to reveal the brilliance of the fire and other colors embedded within the black matrix. With every movement of the stone, and according to the lighting conditions under which the stone is exposed, color, pattern and hue shifts and changes in genuine opal. Due to the intensity of lighting while taking our photos, an unavoidable white “arc” of light may be reflected from the lamp; it is not in the stone. Please be aware that different computer, tablet or phone screens may result in a slight variation of the characteristic and/or color from the original gemstone. Specifications are as follows:Total Weight: 12.9 cts.Size: 27 mm x 13 mm x 4.9 mmTREATMENT: SB Malls has been dealing in Honduran opal since 2001. Rough opal, straight from the mine, is a porous material containing “potch” pockets (per the Honduran miners) that is surrounded with basalt (think porous lava). Untreated, opal is very difficult to work with due to the fragile nature of the material, and, when cut and polished, the end product not only has a dull finish, but the intensity of the colors running throughout the opal is diminished and it is visibly full of tiny pores of “potch” pockets. Over the years, we have worked hard to develop a treatment that not only hardens the opal and fills in the pores; it also removes most of the basalt, amplifies the grain and pulls the flash of color of the remaining opal forward. The process is long and laborious, but we think our buyers will appreciate the ease with which our opal is to work with, and the brilliance of the colors that pop out once the opal is cut and polished into a solid, smooth finished product. SB Malls has been doing business on EBay since 2001 and have appreciatively developed a following with an A+ rating. Please feel free to checkout our feedbacks.
