Green fire caught inside a warm honey brown edge, like a piece of raw stone that never got polished away.
Most cabochons show color edge to edge. This one keeps a honey brown border running around the outside, like a raw brown opal that got polished just enough to reveal the fire trapped inside without smoothing away the natural looking texture around it.
Green flashes cut through the center with warm orange catching the light at certain angles.
That brown matrix border is what sets this apart from a standard clean cabochon. If you're used to seeing opal look glassy and uniform, this piece leans earthier, closer to how raw brown opal looks before it's fully worked.
It still carries the same lab created opal structure as our other Sterling Opal and Monarch Opal cabochons, so the play of color holds up the same way, it's just framed differently.
At 10 carats and 15x20mm, it sets well as a pendant focal stone, somewhere the matrix border can stay visible around the edge of a bezel rather than getting hidden under prongs. Flat backed, AAA graded, ready to mount.
