Mexican Cantera Opal 17.284ct Loose
Opal is a gemstone characterized by its shimmering, iridescent light. There are several types of opals, but cantera opals are particularly popular among collectors. They are loved by many enthusiasts for their dynamic, earthy feel, and are gemstones that can be fully enjoyed even as loose stones. Cantera opals inherently have a lot of "can" (meaning matrix/host rock). Photography is done using a penlight.
