You ID as Midas Opal, would that be correct? Seems way out of range at Receife. Just asking and thankyou very much for doing all the ID's, much appreciated |

Gregg, this underside is textbook Midas opal. It can be either very dark (as in Woodhall's book) or this two tone green with dark top part. Their upper side has this reddish tone (see my record 34674). I don't think their complete distribution is really known. |
