“Floating Feathers” FF508 from the 2025 series is a small, quietly expressive two‑piece opal sculpture shaped around the natural beauty found within Koroit opal. In this piece, the opal itself does the storytelling: one stone naturally reveals the soft impression of floating feathers, while the other holds gentle, water‑like patterns within its opal face. These scenes are not carved—they are part of the stone’s own formation, revealed only by shaping the surrounding host rock.
Measuring 0.5 × 3.5 × 2.5 cm, the sculpture is compact and intimate, offering subtle flashes of blue and greens with delicate matrix patterns typical of the Koroit Opal Field. It’s a piece that invites close viewing, rewarding those who enjoy discovering small details and natural imagery within opal.
The sculpture is presented on a handcrafted Australian Red Gum timber stand, chosen for its warm tones and organic grain. The stand adds a gentle sense of grounding, complementing the opal without overpowering it.
“Floating Feathers” FF508 is a thoughtful, artistic piece—ideal for someone who appreciates the quieter side of opal, where nature provides the imagery and the beauty lies in subtlety rather than spectacle.
