The hues of the opal, the light of the diamond, are not to be seen if the eye is too near.

The hues of the opal, the light of the diamond, are not to be seen if the eye is too near.

The hues of the opal, the light of the diamond, are not to be seen if the eye is too near.

The hues of the opal, the light of the diamond, are not to be seen if the eye is too near.

The hues of the opal, the light of the diamond, are not to be seen if the eye is too near.
