Heart Shaped ?Opal?

Post by Pav »

I have been putting in hours recently so this feels well over due. It was exciting to dig. What do you think? I cannot decide if it is a genuine Opal? It is approx 25mm across its width. No hall marks. Any ideas? Age? Is it real :-/ Down on the wet sand. I did search for the chain but guess they went their separate ways.
