160 carat rough opal cut an unbelievable gem. Totally unexpected

Welcome to Black Opal Direct,

This was the best surprise ever.

I did not expect this huge rough opal to turn into a gem. To be honest, I thought it was going to be riddled with sand and end up being a few decent crystals.

As I ground more of the opal away, I realised that it was not riddled with sand as I thought. It was actually a massive gem. Enjoy the process!
