Australian Boulder Opal Pendant 30

Description

This is a great piece of Australian Boulder Opal that came from a raw stone that Jake bought at a rock and gem show.  Most Boulder Opal is found in thin veins in the host rock, and it’s unusual to get a stone that is a solid piece of opal.  This stone is almost all opal, with just a small section of the brown ironstone matrix at the bottom.  The stone has incredible color as it turns in the light – the pictures can’t do it justice.  The setting is sterling silver with a full silver back and a fancy sterling bezel topped by a three pronged sterling bail.
