Over 100 million years ago, a cockle shell came to rest on the floor of an ancient inland sea — and through an extraordinary geological process, it was slowly replaced by precious opal. Today, every curve of the original shell glows with a vivid, shifting multicolour play-of-colour that is simply breathtaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 84.1cts and measuring a near-perfect 33 x 32 x 19.8mm, this beautifully rounded specimen has a satisfying weight and presence. Polished to bring out the full depth of colour, it is an exceptional piece for the serious collector, a remarkable display specimen, or an extraordinary gift for anyone who loves natural history and Australian opals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84.1 cts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 33 x 32 x 19.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multicolour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coober Pedy, South Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e #8571\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Opal Essence specimens are ethically sourced from Coober Pedy, South Australia, and sourced directly from Australian miners and suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eContact Opal Essence for more information.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Opal Essence","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44820971061383,"sku":"8571","price":8410.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/8577\/9847\/files\/IMG_8480.jpg?v=1780980529","url":"https:\/\/opalessence.net.au\/en-us\/products\/opalized-cockle-shell-84-1-cts","provider":"Opal Essence - Australian Opals \u0026 Gemstones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
