68 carat Allens Rise Black Opal 'Galaxy' Pin fire pattern
 
Stunning large flat faced Allens Rise black opal, multicolour pin fire pattern across the whole face with a bar of blocky pattern across the face in a line. Two small hazy patches which we left in as it keeps the face completely flat.  Viewers of the stone have said the pattern looks like a line of ice burgs under a nights sky.
 
Could be cut up into smaller stones though we like it as one large collectors piece.
