This is the latter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA 469.75ct raw Lightning Ridge crystal nobby, straight out of the ground. Teal, cyan, blue, green and violet play of colour rolling deep through the body of the opal. Beneath all of it, a red glow that radiates through the crystal like light through stained glass. This is not surface brightness. The colour lives inside this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt opens from multiple angles. Surface windows on different faces of the stone each reveal a different world. The flagstone pattern organises itself across the face in defined plates and vertical bars — and there is something almost architectural about what you find when you look closely. A rhythmic structure, like the curve of a smile caught in silica and light. The colour rolls and shifts as the light moves across it. It is the kind of detail that stops people mid-sentence. A reminder of what nature is capable of when left to its own devices over millions of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt has not been cleaned. What you are seeing here is the floor, not the ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCrystal nobbies of this size with flagstone pattern, colour coverage and depth of this quality are genuinely rare. Most large specimens carry potch or ironstone that dilutes what the opal is doing. This piece does not hide. Every angle earns its attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a collector's acquisition. A display piece. Something that improves with time and attention. Once cleaned, this specimen will reveal more of what it already clearly holds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAuthentic. Rare. Unforgettable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Opal Hub Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52801830781204,"sku":"OHA-26-SP-0002","price":14500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6443\/0356\/files\/Opal11-v1.jpg?v=1778559724","url":"https:\/\/opalhubau.com\/products\/rough-opal-parcel-7-ct","provider":"Opal Hub Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
