It has been cured for four years. meaning it has been let sit to dry and crack as it will over that time.\u003cbr\u003eFor those of you that don't know this, when processing gem opal, it must be cured and let dry before cutting- usually a minimum of 6 months. There are manganese dendrites in some pieces. the odd ones have sand inclusions near the perimeter. This opal is definitely facet grade. I have had my cutters in India cut 100's of carats of this.\u003cbr\u003eThe colors range and are generally darker than Mexican. However, with enough cutting, and in large batches, the colors are identical by the time you're done with all the same ranges. \u003cbr\u003eJuniper ridge opal is heavier than Mexican.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: SiO₂ · nH₂O\u003csub data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precious\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Translucent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInclusions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCracks\u003c\/strong\u003e: Minimal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMineral\u003c\/strong\u003e: Manganese Dendrites, Some Rind\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCost per Gram\u003c\/strong\u003e: $17.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eapproximately 1 pc\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: 20mm x 30mm x 30mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight approximately 1 pc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e: 15g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRough is rough.
