Hyalite Opal (Opal-AN) ("Blood Vessel Opal") Julia Fisk especially such fine quality specimensThis "Round Brilliant" cut Hyalite Opal gem is translucent with a golden to orange to colorless interior, but the most important aspect of the piece is the fact that it shows tiny red capillary like inclusions of iron oxide just below the surface, which has given this material the nickname "Blood Vessel Opal". If you look closely you can see the tiny fibrous inclusions that have an almost organic appearance. This is truly unique and interesting Opal
