Red Australian Opal

A very vivid bright red Australian opal on mid grey opal potch. Opal potch (black, grey or white) is colourless opal which either has an opal colour bar on top of it, through it or patches of opal colour through it. 

This is a very vivid red opal. Red is seen from each side. On a couple of angles the red fades and green, mauve and combination colours comes through. Very striking.
