This pendant is unique, for the precious Natural Opal gem. Each natural Opal gemstone is unique in the world, thanks to its incredible combination of colors, flashes, and internal play-of-color. This natural optical pattern can never be replicated exactly, making every Opal a truly one-of-a-kind gemstone.
***All photos were taken using lamp light, with professional photographic lenses, to enhance the colors and also the details and imperfections of the gem. Looking with the naked eye, possible streaks, inclusions and imperfections are much less visible or not visible at all.***
What is an Opal?
Opal is a unique gemstone renowned for its play-of-color, an optical phenomenon where flashes of vibrant colors, such as red, green, blue, and yellow, shift across its surface when viewed from different angles. This effect is caused by the unique internal structure of Opal, which diffracts light into its spectral components. Opals can range from translucent to opaque, with varieties like white, black, and fire opals showcasing different characteristics. It is believed to inspire creativity, awaken intuition, and foster emotional clarity. Whether worn as jewelry or cherished as a collector's piece, Opal holds a timeless allure that connects us to the wonders of the natural world.
Composition: Hydrated silica.
Origin: Most Opals come from Australia, with notable deposits in Ethiopia and Mexico.

Seller's Story
Welcome to Angolo Vetusto Earth Stones, my name is Dalla Stella Federico.
Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by gems and minerals, and by the search and discovery of their true nature. This passion eventually grew into a desire to make it my life and profession, leading me to study and become a professional lapidary, as well as an expert in minerals from around the world, with a special focus on Italian specimens.
I am an expert lapidary, specializing in cutting and polishing hard stones such as Australian and Ethiopian opals, agates, quartzes, jaspers, and more.
Ongoing study has led me and continues to lead me to create increasingly precise work, with great attention to the smallest details, in order to best enhance the natural beauty of each gem.
I import high-quality minerals and raw gems from all over the world, to offer only the finest specimens to high-level collectors.
