Item Description
Featured are genuine Oregon Butte Opals. Oregon Butte opal is an extremely unique variety of opal found in a remote site called Opal Butte, Oregon, near Morrow County. It was originally discovered by Tiffany & Co. in late 1930’s and early 1940’s, but was later mined out fully in the 1990’s. Most of the gem quality material is now gone. The butte area is privately owned and not open to the public. Oregon Opal is know as a “fire opal” with color shades of red, orange, yellow, blue and clear and the gem material is translucent.

These particular gemstone random lots can contain gems that have the colors of super red, chocolate brown, white, yellow, blue, green and orange and be opaque, translucent or of a gemmy crystal body. Some of the host rock, in which it is found, may be present on some these specimen pieces.

This gem material is rare and sometimes hard to get, as the mine source has been mined out for years

Pictured a sample of the gemstones, taken from the much larger lot of the type of gemstones being offered. The price listed is for (1) randomly selected 12 Pcs LOT of rough Oregon Butte Opal.
