This is a untouched rough direct from the miners in lightning ridge. This rough is showing a bright colour bar so the risk as a gamble is lower. You still may have to chase the colour and how it faces is the gamble

We have not rubbed it down so there is a chance of a nice stone for you to discover.

Also great for a specimen for a collector.

All images taken with the stones wet.

-all weights and sizes are approximate.

Note we use a Nikon camera that captures the mauve in blue stones which the eye cant see so consider this colour to be blue

As with all our rough you may return it for a full refund provided it is rubbed or touched in any way-we suggest you look at it dry with a loop before cutting.

How do we value our rough?? After 30 years experience of rubbing down and cutting thousands of opal we value  the rough as what we believe it will cut-However you are dealing with nature so some stones will come out worse than i expect-if you are disappointed with your experience please let us know so we may be able to rectify it.
