Australian Dendritic Opal Specimen

This material is known for its displays of dendritic complexes throughout varying shades of opal. This particular piece is showing many natural windows of intricate bluish-black dendritic masses against a white background. The delicacy and density of the visible dendrites gives this piece a ton of potential for stunning slices and cabochons, with fantastic contrast! Should be pretty satisfying if you are a fan of black and white and/or intricate lines. Note that though this is opal, there is no color play.

This is a rough, unpolished specimen. Please observe images closely for flaws, as some degree of that is normal. Pictured wet and dry.
