Peruvian Opals!We have dreamy opals such as these from Peru available. Peruvian opal breathes and tends to absorb and desorb its natural water content. These semi-transparent glowing cabochons are of a natural tropical blue color. If in arrid conditions, the water causing the transparency tends to desorb and the material takes on a muted appearance which can be reverted simply by immersing in water for several hours. The material breathes water!!! In a humid environment there is little to no change in the transparency and hence no immersion is required. Please call with any questions!!! Price varies for specific stones but in the world of gems, these stones are both rare and a bargain! |

Rare Fine Mexican Opal 9.08 caratsThis Mexican opal of 9.08 carats is remarkable for its deep orangey red body color and its red fire, a burning, red play of color with green and yellow flashes depending on the light source. It is a stone I found in a piece of jewelry made in the 1960's and therefore has demonstrated a stability over the years. Mexican opals are prone to crazing (drying out and cracking) and this opal is free from crazing. An extraordinary Mexican opal measuring8.58 x 11.5 x 8mm
