This was in my common opal bucket,but don't remember hounding it or where I got it at....We hunt opal in eastern Oregon at an old Cinnabar mine (on the tailing piles)... Don't think this came from there..It has Cinnabar markings on it,but the purple lines are what is throwing me off on the location and ID... Any help would be great.....

Looks like a marble. Maybe something similar to Picasso?

Softer than 3.5 marble?

Is there a reason it cannot be a one off piece of opalite? The same as the bucket was labelled?
