Pink Opal Cabochon - Finely Polished
This striking pink opal gemstone has been cut and polished as a cabochon. Therefore, the stone has a flat base and subtly rounded top.
Pink opal is a type of common opal whose chemical composition is almost identical to precious opal. The only exception is that it doesn't exhibit 'play of colour'.
This gemstone has been fully polished, so reflects light beautifully.
Common opals can be found in many countries around the world and occur in several colours. Most pink opal comes from Peru and Western Australia.
