Description
Quality handcrafted in solid 925 sterling silver comes this pipe opal from our mine in the Quilpie district in western Queensland. It displays flashes of green in different shades. It has a sandstone bar running through it and a small amount natural adhering sandstone still on the back from otherwise a solid crystal opal.
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 to increase strength and durability and avoid chipping during setting process. (Not a doublet)
Comes boxed with a FREE silver polishing cloth.
Stone size: 10mm x 7mm
