Earth is a pretty amazing place and proof of that is in this small little nut shaped concretion filled with dazzling display of opal. And, it features a spectacular play-of-color— with flashes of pink, yellow, green, blue and purple. Originating from Smithers Queensland, Australia, in a small mining town named “Yowah”, this piece created a sensation when the Smithsonian received it as a gift in 2011. The piece was cut in half and this is the thinner half that features the darker, flashier qualities that Opal is so renown for. Our 1” thick polished blocks stand upright on flat surfaces and are made from a superior cast method for clarity, depth and realism. The print is created by the artisan Giclee process and has been enlarged for a superb viewing experience. Makes a stunning showpiece on shelf, desk, table! Also, a great gift for any occasion.
