This raw cantera opal holds fire caught mid-formation, still locked in its host rock. Soft flashes of green and warm orange light move across the exposed opal seams, contrasting with the matte pinkish rhyolitic matrix. It feels earthy, quiet, and alive rather than polished or precious.
Cantera opal forms when silica-rich fluids fill fractures and pockets within volcanic host rock, hardening slowly as conditions shift. This piece is left intentionally raw so the relationship between opal and matrix stays visible and honest. Only one available.
