You're not going to believe this one. OS showed it to me, but doesn't have time to post it so I'm going to do it for him. This opal is amazing, stunning, incredibly bright and has an awesome polish on it.
Searching for the ultimate black opal. I found it after 60 years.

I knew some one would get it up. I'll like to point out Justin did NOT cut this one down to an oval coming out. Thats what I call metallic play of color when I find it. The electric blues next to crimson reds is always the rarest color combination since the silicon sphere size is the opposite size extremes. The color dominance is the order stated and a mixed palette or just multicolor if it is close to mixed, in its proportion. Variety is the spice of life.
Love the story or idea the dreams of his father brought the stone back to him, or even created it and led his friend to find it.
