Spencer Opal in Matrix — 163.75 cts — Spencer, Idaho
This impressive Spencer Opal features a polished face set naturally in its host matrix, revealing an exceptional display of color that’s rare even for Idaho material. Measuring approximately 46.4mm long, 31.5mm wide, and 40.4mm thick, this 163.75‑carat specimen showcases a full spectrum of play‑of‑color — from vivid greens and fiery reds to shimmering golds and even flashes of purple that dance across the polished surface. Unlike some Spencer opals, this piece has no red veining, allowing the opal’s pure pastel body tone and vibrant fire to take center stage. The contrast between the glowing opal window and the rugged matrix makes it a striking collector’s piece with a strong natural presence.

Opal Care Instructions
Opals are naturally delicate gemstones with a higher water content, so they thrive with gentle handling and a little extra mindfulness. Keep your opal away from prolonged heat, direct sunlight, and sudden temperature changes, to prevent cracking or crazing. Avoid soaking it in water, chemicals, or ultrasonic cleaners. To clean, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Store your opals separately from harder stones to prevent scratches and preserve its natural fire & beauty.
