The host rock is natural rock and some nuggets have only clear silica and no base rock material; either base colour shows off the opal colour flashes in the stone. Some pieces have pockets of opal fire and others have striations of opal. Some pieces are slices and some are nugget shaped, however, each piece has opal flashes of colour.
