Description
Quality handcrafted with cast swinging bail in 925 sterling silver and rhodium plated to prevent tarnishing. Solid pipe boulder opal pendant (not a doublet) in flashy green. This pipe opal is from our mine in the Quilpie district in western Queensland and has natural adhering sandstone still on the back. The opal has very fine flaws due to too much pressure when setting. This does not hinder the wearing or beauty of this pendant, but because of the flaws we offer it at a reduced price. Comes boxed with a .925 sterling silver chain and FREE polishing cloth.
Pipe opal occurs when fragments of tree roots or any organic material are trapped in sediments on an opal level and in time some of resulting cavaties are replaced by potch or precious opal. The sandstone has been stabilised with a polymer resin.
Opal size: 10mm x 5mm across. Bail gap is 6mm x 3mm.
