Strongest colour concentrated in the lower and central zones Depth: Good depth under the crystal cap Movement: Moderate movement. Red and Green zones activate when tilted. Collector’s Guide Rarity : Triangular freeform crystal opals with strong red/orange fire are notably scarce, especially when paired with a structured broad‑flash sheet pattern. The geometric face and layered colour zones give Centauri Prism a distinctive architectural presence that sets it apart from more fluid or chaotic crystal opals. Investment Notes Red/orange fire is one of the rarest and most valued colour expressions in Lightning Ridge crystal opals B3–B4 brightness ensures strong visual impact under both natural and artificial ligh The broad triangular geometry offers exceptional face‑up presence and design versatility Ideal for collectors seeking a stone with both structural precision and dynamic colour behaviour Broad‑flash crystal opals with red dominance historically maintain strong long‑term demand Collector’s Insight : Centauri Prism appeals to collectors who appreciate order, symmetry, and layered depth. The stone activates in zones — red and green lighting up as it tilts — giving it a deliberate, almost engineered movement. It’s a piece that rewards slow viewing, revealing its structure and colour in measured, intentional layers. A Certified Asset Valuer has independently assessed this Opal.
