Faceted precious opal gemstone pendant 925 silver 11x14 mm

No other gemstone displays such a vivid play of color as precious opal – its so-called opalescence causes it to shimmer in blue, green, red, and gold depending on the incidence of light, as if an entire spectrum were trapped within the stone. This phenomenon is caused by the diffraction of light by tiny silicon dioxide spheres inside the stone. The white-beige base color of this specimen makes the play of color stand out particularly clearly. Set in 925 sterling silver.

Stone size: approx. 11 x 14 mm
