Be bolder with opal from down under. This 18" chain necklace features materials from arid country: copper metal and an Australian Boulder opal. Boulder opal refers to thin seams and patches of opal surrounded by or attached to its natural host rock, much of which is brown ironstone. This gemstone has blue and white details and is surrounded by Japanese tile and seedbead glass. The pendant hangs from antiqued copper cable chains fastened with a copper S-hook clasp.

Cost: $43.00 USD
