WELCOME, THANK YOU VIEWING.
THIS IS MY SECOND OPAL TO PRESENT TO YOU DURING A LISTING
PERIOD.  I SELDOM DO THIS BUT WANTED TO PRESENT (FOR THOSE
THAT LOVE OPALS) ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL OPAL THAT IS NOT AS
EXPENSIVE AS AUSTRALIAN BLACK OPALS.
THIS IS A GORGEOUS DEEP BLACK OPAL WITH AN ARRAY OF COLORS
YOU WILL SEE IN PHOTOS. PRIMARILY GREEN FLASH WITH NICE REDS,
GOLDS, AND THE WONDERFUL OPTIC BLUE THAT IS DIFFICULT TO SHOW
IN PHOTOS.
THEY SAY YOU CAN SEE THE WORLD IN AN OPAL. I'M INCLINED TO AGREE AS
OPALS ARE MY SECOND LOVE IN GEMSTONES THAT IS NOT ONE OF CRYSTAL
STRUCTURES.
I RECENTLY SAW A JEWELRY SHOW TODAY THAT OFFERED OPALS AND I WAS
DISAPPOINTED IN THE COLOR, CLARITY AND COLORS.  THE SALESMEN AND
WOMEN WERE GREAT AT LURING YOU INTO SECOND RATE GEMS.
I WILL NOT TRY TO LURE YOU WITH SALESMANSHIP, ONLY TO LET THE OPAL
SPEAK FOR ITSELF.  THE PLAY  OF COLOR IN DIFFERENT LIGHTING SITUATIONS
WILL COMMAND ATTENTION AT ANY FUNCTION AND COMPLIMENT ANY ATTIRE.
WHETHER YOU COLLECT LOOSE GEMS OR WISH TO HAVE THIS MOUNTED IN A
PENDANT, RING OR PIN, I THINK YOU'LL AGREE IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
I HAVE JUST RECENTLY STARTED MY LISTINGS OF GEMS THAT ARE SECOND ONLY
TO MY COIN LISTINGS.
THE POLISH IS EXCELLENT WITH EXCELLENT COLOR PLAY. THE CLARITY IS VERY
NICE IN COMPLIMENTARY LIGHTING SCENARIOS. IN DARKER LIGHT, THE GEM WILL
HAVE SUBDUED COLOR PLAY BUT DISPLAY THE BEAUTIFUL BLACK AND OPTIC
BLUE CHARACTERISTICS.
BLACK OPALS, WHETHER ETHIOPIAN OR AUSTRALIAN ALWAYS DEMAND HIGHER
VALUES.  IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL IN EITHER GOLD OR SILVER SETTINGS.
AS I HAVE MANY OPALS AND GEMSTONES, YOU WILL RECEIVE AN ADDED
SURPRISE BONUS WITH THIS ITEM.  IF I TOLD YOU WHAT IT IS  ... IT WOULD
NOT BE A SURPRISE, BUT KNOW YOU (IF A GEM ENTHUSIAST) WILL NOT
BE DISAPPOINTED.
THIS LISTING WILL START DURING EARLY MORNING HOURS TO BE
CONSIDERATE OF THOSE THAT WORK LATE SHIFTS.
IF YOU LIKE THE OPAL AND WISH TO BID ON
IT AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE LAST HOURS --- PLEASE BID AHEAD OF
TIME.
