Andamooka Matrix Opal Cabochon Pendant Wire Wrapped Solid 14K Gold

  • 40800


Andamooka Matrix Opal Pendant Wire Wrapped Solid 14K Gold Round Wire

Beautiful vibrant Andamooka Opal, a precious opal exhibiting fine moving flashes in multi-colors of light within a dark charcoal gray host rock background; wears well with most colors; typically better with dark versus light colors; and earth tone versus bright colors, as the multi-color reflections are more distinct against a dark contrast, and bright colors tend to obscure them; very well suited to a purist view as oval shape, high dome surface contour, and color flash pattern are all consistent with standards. The moving color flash patterns also appeal to an artistic view.

Description: Medium charcoal gray base stone with multi-color precious opal reflections and refractions within; oval translucent to opaque stone cabochon wrapped in 22 gauge solid 14 karat gold round wire.

Stone Size: Small (13/16” x 5/8” x 5/16”).

Pattern: Fine multi-color refracting and refracting precious opal against a dark charcoal gray background.

Contour: Smooth high dome face.

Unique Features: Fine multi-color refraction and reflection flashes; Dark charcoal gray base color;

Polish: High gloss, brilliant.

Edges: Smooth, flat.

Treatment: Most andamooka matrix opals are originally white but often sugar-acid treated to carbonize and darken the background stone creating greater contrast and more vibrant color reflection; they are also often pitted, so filled with polymer resin for a smoother, shinier, high polish surface.
