Banded Opal Pendant Wire Wrapped 14/20 Gold Filled

Banded Opal Pendant Wire Wrapped in 14/20 Gold Filled Round Wire

This interesting stone provides diagonal banding of clear pale orange opal chalcedony. A nice choice for white, and light colored clothing; better with bright and dark colors for contrast and enhancement of the banding pattern; best with similarly striped or band patterned clothing; not particularly well suited with earth tone colors or similar pale orange or coral colors. Precise diagonal banding, near standard triangular shape, and a flat sloped face contour  may make this stone attractive to the purist, but some color and pattern changes add some artistic flavor to this stone.

Comment: Haven’t seen this stone before? Some specific types of opal aren’t abundant enough to be produced commercially. They may only be found as one or a few in random places; at very small, unique sources; or under conditions where excessive sorting through a large amount of unattractive material becomes too labor intensive to be worth any commercial endeavor. This is one of those. A unique, handmade, genuine semi-precious stone pendant, this piece is posted individually, not merely a representative item - what you see is what you get.
