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.

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.
