This is an Ethiopian Opal... about an inch long. (5 years and 3340 days ago)

Beautiful, but glowing rather than shiny.

author says:

Thanks for the comment. By that definition in the theme comments, this seems like it would be shiny. The colors inside are the result of reflecting light (like a prism), and the white reflection along it's length shows the gloss).

I see the shine in this picture, it is right down the middle of the piece. I would have cropped this a bit though...maybe take some off the left hand side.

Howdie stranger!
