Australian Opal Belemnite 11.75cts - Multi Colour Rectangular Stripe, Cut to Matching Earring Pair

A truly unique natural solid opal cut from an Australian opal belemnite — the fossilised remains of an ancient Cretaceous-era squid-like creature, opalized over approximately 100 million years. The belemnite's cylindrical structure produces a distinctive elongated rectangular form with a beautiful striped pattern, displaying multi-colour play along its length.

At 42mm long and 7mm wide, this stone is currently a single piece — but it could be cut in half to create a matching pair of earring stones, each approximately 21mm long. This makes it an exceptional opportunity for a jeweller looking to create a one-of-a-kind matched earring set from a single prehistoric opal.
