027. More Magnificent Opals

Jennifer Sieverling, Jewelry Historian Season 2 Episode 27

It's not time to leave opals behind just yet! We've got More Magnificent Opals. Specifically, the very best of the best. The biggest, the rarest, the most beautiful; come and meet the cast: the Olympic and Aurora Australis, a pair of Fire & Flame Queens, a Black Prince, a Red Emperor, and a very impressive Halley... This is the pinnacle, the ultimate opals. Like so many epic gemstones, they each have their own tangled history: robberies, suicide, touring the world, million dollar auctions, and... changing the prehistoric fossil records? Yes. All this and more, on More Magnificent Opals.
