Description

Classic "dumbell" shape menilite opal from the Albacete area of Spain known for these unusual formations. Studies seem to suggest that menilite is a rock type rather than opal but they are labelled as opal. Always interesting conversation pieces. There is a bit of glue on the backside of one of the bells which I did not try to remove to avoid damage to the specimen as this material is a bit porous. Specimen is glued to the base.
