Ethiopian Black Opal Pendant Necklace, October Birthstone
Sweet pendant featuring a sparkling Black Opal from the Welo mine in Ethiopia.
Black Opal is classified as a precious Opal (as opposed to common opals, which are semi-precious gemstones). It is rare, and those showcasing red flashes, such as this one, are among the most desirable.
This precious Black Opal, measuring 7 x 10 mm, showcases a rainbow of colors - green, red, orange, and blue - depending on the source and direction of the light. To highlight the beauty of this precious gemstone, it has been set in a hand-formed 14k gold filled four-prong setting. Total length of the pendant including the bail ring is 1,7 cm.
The pendant comes with an 18" long 14k gold filled cable chain.
This necklace would make a wonderful gift for anyone, especially someone born in October, as Opal is the birthstone for the month.

***
Black Opal is considered the rarest type of Opal, and specimens with vibrant play-of-color, such as this one, are classified as Precious Opal. Opal is often referred to as a "living stone" because it is hydrophane, meaning it absorbs water and its appearance can temporarily change as a result. In fact, up to 21% of an opal can be made up of water. To help preserve your Opal jewelry, please remove it before using harsh chemicals, perfumes, or while swimming and bathing.
Metaphysically, Opal symbolizes purity and hope. It has long been regarded as a protective stone that keeps the wearer from harm.
