Precious Opal
Gracias a Dios Mine, Gracias a Dios Department, Honduras

This is a lightly sanded / polished round pebble of classic black Honduran matrix opal, commonly referred to as "sugar opal." I couldn't get the fire in this piece to photograph well, and it currently shows its colors best when wet - that would change if it were given a higher polish. The listing photos and video show the specimen completely dry.Old stock, from the estate of meteorite and mineral collectorChuck Edwards (Palm Springs, d. 2010).
