An egg composed of small pieces of Opal embedded in a man made material which mimics the natural Rhyolite in which the Opal is found. If you Google this material, you will find the vast majority of specimens listed are described as being natural. The pieces of Opal vary considerably and include pieces with good fire and Cherry Opal. The polish of both the Opal and the manmade matrix is high.
Condition: Very Good
Flaws: A hole has been drilled in the tip.
