A Duo of abstract faces carved out of a single piece of rich dark Brown Opal stone. The top face with hair covered is looking down and the bottom face looking up. This design is frequently referred to as Mother and Child.
Besides the gemstone varieties that show a play of color, the other kinds of common opal include the milk opal, milky bluish to greenish (which can sometimes be of gemstone quality); resin opal, which is honey-yellow with a resinous luster; wood opal, which is caused by the replacement of the organic material in wood with opal and menilite, which is brown or grey. Common opal often displays a hazy-milky-turbid sheen from within the stone.
The statue is glued onto black Granite.
