Oval Peruvian Blue Opal Pendant with Dendrites

This high-quality Peruvian blue opal features a range of Caribbean hues with black dendritic highlights (created by iron or manganese in the rock), and has a stunning near transparency. The black inclusions are highly sought after for their resemblance to ferns, tiny trees, or landscapes (or an island archipeligo?).

The looking-glass oval stone is set in a frame of sterling silver with hand-notched craft work and a wide bail. If you're a water baby, or love the beauty of tropical islands, this might be your piece.

Size: 1 5/8" long from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant (4 cm) and 9/16" wide (2 cm).

Pair with: A jet-black cord or ribbon, or a sterling chain.
