$340.00

A pair of artsy earrings with this amazing stone. So much blue opal, the photo does not do them justice! Oxidized patterned ovals to give them a bit of flair.

The back of the earrings have been cut out to keep them light for wear!

Petrified Wood with Blue Opal is decomposed wood replaced by opaline silica over thousands of years. The water in that silica was very rich in dissolved copper, iron, and manganese. It is composed of common opal rather than chalcedony or another material. Blue Opal was first found as pebbles and larger rounded stones (“cobbles”) in streams and near the slopes of three volcanoes in Indonesia’s West Java Province. The source deposit was finally located on the slopes of Mt. Tjikolak in 2017.

The mine in West Java has run dry of Blue Opal therefore only what has been already been sourced and cut is all there is left!
