This extraordinary 82.9 ct Australian boulder opal, mined in Winton, was cut into a bold arrowhead freeform by Alex Andreou, revealing iridescent green and blue veins moving through rich natural ironstone. The stone features a remarkable all-opal crackle pattern, where solid opal veins intersect and fracture organically within the body, creating intense flashes that ignite as the piece is tilted and redirected in the light — dynamic, vivid, and unmistakably alive. Michael Stark, owner of Luxe Opal, was present for the entire cutting process and personally filmed Alex Andreou shaping the stone, capturing rare, first-hand documentation of its transformation from rough to finished gem. Michael Stark has also been filmed by the Discovery Channel, further anchoring this opal within the living history of Australian opal mining and cutting. The winning collector will receive the full-length original cutting video, including candid conversation during the process, offering not just an exceptional opal, but a preserved moment of modern opal history that justifies its elevated collector value.
