In our opinion the best orientation for setting the opal.
Flight of Fancy is a totally unique opal cabochon.  Polished on all sides the possibilities are endless for setting the opal.  "The opal is a semi-crystal with a slight brownish-gray hue with red, yellow, and orange the predominant colors.  Secondary colors are green and blue," according to the appraisal which values the  stone   at $ 3,744.00.  In our opinion this opal with make a fantastic pendant in the orientation shown above.  A horizontal setting would also be quite favorable.  You just cannot go wrong with this one.

  • 33.4 mm x 14.5 mm x 8.58 mm
