Description
A solid Australian pipe opal flashing lightning strikes of purple and blue on a clear, slightly milky base — set in sterling silver with a traditional open back. This one-of-a-kind stone is, perfection.
The star is fixed in place on an 18” sterling silver chain, while the opal moves freely. This design keeps the opal secure while letting you wear the star either close to or slightly above the stone — your choice of balance and sparkle.
Australian boulder opal, wood replacement opal, pipe opal — all terms for this rare and beautiful phenomenon.
In some regions of Australia, over millions of years, tree branches were replaced with opal — leaving behind what miners now call “pipes” of opal. Each one is a fossilized remnant of ancient wood, transformed by time and water into something extraordinary.
Photos are taken on a dark background to best show the flash. this opal shows dreamy pastel purple hues with vibrant lightning-like flashes that dance within
