Outstanding 48.16ct fire red Ammolite Opal

What?!?! Are you kidding me? Look at this gemstone! This large example has a full cover ammolite face that glows at every angle. The core of its color is a rich red that burns across its surface like embers in a fire, complimented by oranges, golds, and yellows with a touch of metallic green for good measure. Every movement creates a fiery whirlwind of changing colors. Due to the soft nature of ammolite, most if not all cabochons are given a protective coating. All of the pieces in this batch were given a two part epoxy coating giving them a Mohs hardness rating of right around 8 out of 10, making them incredibly durable. You can even polish them!
