First Selection Australian Opal - Lightning Ridge Mines - Exclusive Italian Silver Jewel - Height: 49 mm - Width: 11.5 mm- 7 g

A refined pendant made of 925 silver, housing an extraordinary first-choice Australian opal gemstone, hand-cut into an elongated and slender shape. The stone displays an intense combination of electric blue, turquoise, and shifting green reflections, with a vibrant and deep play of colors that change hypnotically in the light. Every detail is designed to enhance the natural beauty of the gem, making it the absolute protagonist.
The opal used comes from the Queensland deposits, renowned worldwide for the quality of their solid opals, free from treatments or artificial compositions. This specimen features a fibrous structure of amorphous silica, which, thanks to the three-dimensional arrangement of silica microspheres, produces the characteristic phenomenon of opalescence.
With a hardness between 5.5 and 6.5 Mohs, opal is a delicate yet highly sought-after gemstone, associated since ancient times with protective, intuitive, and spiritual properties. In Aboriginal cultures, it is said that opal contains the colors of the rainbow fallen to earth as a gift from the gods. This jewel represents a perfect blend of jewelry art and natural wonder, designed for those who wish to wear a fragment of light in mineral form.
