There are a few different types of matrix opal found in Andamooka, and this Rainbow matrix is the most porous of them all. It is sometimes called "Concrete" due to the conglomerate embedded within the quartzite matrix and the general resemblance to building concrete in its untreated state. The treatment process darkens the quartzite base so the Opal can be seen more clearly, and the Resin creates an even finished surface.

Welcome to 53Frogs, where we run hundreds of no reserve auctions every week!
