Real fossilized Opal!! Fiery red 22.60ct Ammolite
This stunning example of well preserved ammolite opal exhibits silky, full bodied color. Vibrant reds dominate this fossilized opal, accompanied by a brilliant blend of oranges and golds that dance like flames across its face. This piece has fantastic size measuring 27.3mm x 14.6mm x 6.1mm, and its protective cover has been polished to a liquid luster.
To protect the delicate nature of ammolite opal, most cabochons receive a protective resin coating, but this high quality piece has been coated with a two-part epoxy, providing it with superior protection and giving it a Mohs hardness rating of approximately 8 out of 10 making it incredibly durable. This means that your ammolite is perfect for setting and daily wear, and can be polished if needed.
