The Opal Story This pipe opal from Queensland has a soft peachy pink base with flashes of violet blue that shift as you move the stone. Pipe opals get their name from how they form, silica rich water seeps into narrow voids left by decomposed plant roots or geological fractures, and over millions of years, that silica hardens into solid opal. The cylindrical shape comes from the original cavity. The translucency and pastel tones make this one feel almost dreamlike. It's the kind of stone that catches light quietly, not loudly, but you can't stop looking at it. Design Possibilities The cushion cut and size make this perfect for a statement ring, bold enough to be noticed. It could also work beautifully as a pendant if you want something you can layer or wear close. What's Included This opal comes finished as a hand fabricated bezel set ring or pendant in sterling silver. The bezel wraps the stone securely while keeping the focus on that soft, shifting color. Every piece is made to last. Want something different?

Please Note This opal has been photographed in both light and shade to give you a good representation of the colour, but opals are natural stones and the play of colour may vary slightly from what you see in the photos.
