As a supportive seller, we want to help you make an informed decision. It's important to note that this white opal has a fair play of color, with more separation on the side than the surface. However, the price has been reduced by 30% to reflect this. It's worth mentioning that while the opalescence is fair, the opal is from one of the highest quality regions. In our opinion, an opal should showcase both superb opalescence and a straight bicolor appearance to ask for full prices.
