About the Item
This lovely 5.10 Ct natural Australian crystal opal, carved into a pair of butterfly wings, is a truly exceptional addition to any collection, mined by Sue Cooper herself. Its rarity, coupled with the amazing winged carving, captivates connoisseurs with its pretty green and blue colours.
Mined at Sue’s Russells opal mine in western Queensland, Australia, in 2021, this opal gem is a remarkable find. What distinguishes it is its origin: formed within a void, likely left by a decaying tree branch or root, it underwent a rare transformation into an opalized replica of a branch or a ‘jelly mould fossil’. Though some opalized branches from the Russell’s mine are quite large, Sue has expertly identified smaller translucent and transparent gem-quality pieces deserving of expert carving.
Owning this opal is not just an opportunity to acquire a unique signature piece; it's an opportunity to hold the enduring beauty of Earth's geological wonders in the palm of your hand. Don't miss the opportunity to own this rare masterpiece, where the whispers of millennia past are captured in a piece that transcends time.
Additional notes: Each butterfly wing is approx. 9.4 (W) x 15 (L) x 3 (D) mm each.
