Description
Metal: solid sterling silver setting and bail, strung on 18″ sterling silver chain.
Stone: Indonesian blue opal wood
Extra: Indonesian opalized wood is petrified wood in which the wood grains have been replaced by opal. In Indonesia, when wood is buried by volcanic ash and silica is mobilized from the ash, the silica will penetrate into the wood and replace the grains of the wood.
The silica is often accompanied by other elements that give the opalized wood a wide range of colors. Red, green and purple colors are usually from iron minerals. Manganese often creates pink, black and brown coloration and copper minerals can produce blue and green. (Source: heathercanyon.com)
