Single rough Australian Opals
These single rough opal gemstone from Coober Pedy are in their original natural state. They are uncut and untreated. These are for experts or beginners to cut and polish themselves, or to collect and use as-is.
Rough Opal is the natural form of Opal. It then takes many hours of delicate and precise handling by a skilled lapidarist to shape this material into the wonderous gems that can be seen. Because of this, rough Opal is an excellent bargain for those who wish to try their hand at carving something precious.
