Moss opalite cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of moss opalite, from Australia, also known as dendritic opalite. This unusual form of opal features a background of strong yellow with an intricate display of black spidery dendrites. This one's all the more appealing because of the large open areas of color, without the sometimes overwhelmingly muddy pattern of too much moss. I've set this material in both gold and silver with beautiful results, but I think the contrast of a silver mounting would show it off best. Of course, that's entirely up to you to decide! The cab has a nicely rounded dome of 6.5mm, a fat teardrop shape, and a super glassy polish both front and back.
Size: 38x32mm
Weight: approximately 47 carats
