A mammoth 568 carats “The Eternal Flame” is the largest and most significant black gem ever found. What makes it even rarer is its origin. The volcanic soils of coastal New South Wales, Australia are replete with bands of obsidian and quartz but only small finds of volcanic opal – nothing like the great inland fields of Lightning Ridge, Coober Pedy and Queensland.

Olivenite crystals Olivenite is a copper arsenate mineral and crystallizes in the monoclinic system. The piece shown in this photo has formed on Conichalcite. As the name suggests, it is of olive-green color, which varies in shade from yellow or brown, gray-green, grayish white or light green in transmitted light. More commonly, olivenite occurs as globular aggregates of acicular crystals, these fibrous forms often having a velvety luster; sometimes it is lamellar in structure, or soft and earthy.

this is stunning, but I'd like to see other pictures of it (with maybe less tricky lightning). .

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

^ Fire opals look so under strong light exposure. I wouldn't call it a "trick". I figure this is under natural sunlight.

At the rock show at the NC State Fairgrounds and saw a stone I had seen before on a video stream-Wild Fire Opal. Not sure if it qualifies as a gemstone, but it was an accidental find in Utah and was created by a volcanic vent being so filled with deposits that it was completely blocked off. Did npot get a photo, but found a photo online.< id="idg-io-safe-browsing-enabled" ="" oninit="true">

Natural layered agate. Each layer was formed at different times. Probably due to earthquakes in the region, the lines are crooked. That's why the horizon line is crooked. Turkish
