Equally tranquil and energetic; a bluish purple glow emits from deep within this opal and wanders within its light honey coloured body. Like a lens this gem is totally transparent, magnifying inside and what's behind it. It's an interesting gem to hold. Some hair inclusions in the bottom of the stone. It is prong set and accented with pavé lavender amethyst. A one of a kind handcrafted charm.
This stone is 100% natural / untreated and was sourced directly from the opal mine in Australia. It was cut and set by me in Canada.

Precious opal is highly valued for its prismatic play of colour, a unique optical property which creates rainbows trapped within. The rarest and most coveted color is red, followed by orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. Brilliance, brightness, strength, pattern, body color, and color direction all determine a stones value. The rarest form of Australian opal is black opal, commanding the highest value and prized by collectors. Each opal has its own personality and no two are the same. Choose a stone with colours that speak to you, individual tastes play a big part in selecting the right one.
Opal has been associated with love, passion, desire and eroticism. It is a seductive stone, intensifying emotional states and releasing inhibitions. Wearing an opal is said to bring about loyalty and faithfulness while stimulating originality and dynamic creativity. It aids in accessing one’s true self, finding answers, and helps you to understand your full potential.
Opal amplifies traits, whether those traits are good or bad, and brings characteristics to the surface for transformation. It enhances self worth, confidence and self-esteem. It also brings lightness and spontaneity. It can help you to pick up thoughts and feelings, amplify and return them to their source. It is a karmic stone and encourages positive emotions. It teaches that what you put out comes back to you, and is a protective stone in dangerous places
You will always receive the exact opal pictured. I do my best to describe and capture them in different lighting and as accurately as possible. Colours may look different from monitor to monitor.
All my jewelry settings are handcrafted in response to my hand cut one of a kind gemstones. I aim to do each stone justice by listening to what they want, cutting and crafting a setting to fully showcase it in the jewellery it was always meant to be. You always get a one of a kind art piece for you to wear, born of the earth and crafted especially for you.
