African Opal Faceted Stones and Cabochons

These beautiful African Opal Faceted stones and cabochons are cut from rough mined in Africa.  We have been working diligently for some time to get some to offer to our customers on this web site and are so pleased to have them here at last.   The stones were cut in India, so they are well traveled to reach us here in the Colorado Rockies and ultimately on to you.  These opals remind us of the Mexican fire opals in their color ranges and the play of color that they can demonstrate.  They have similar inclusions and silkiness as well.  Some of them show a great deal of play of color and some only marginal amounts or no visible play of color.  We have several excellent examples of these cut stones for sale at this time and if you are a large retailer we can offer these stones to you in volume at a wholesale rate.  Please inquire if you are interested in large volumes of these stones.   Of course, if you are into smaller numbers you are welcome to purchase the opals seen below.
