Australian & Ethiopian Opals Displayed in Onyx. Unusual Large 2+" Pendant

Welcome to Sea Green Mermaid!

For sale is probably the most unusual opal pendant you will ever see.  This pendant was created to display eight different types of opal from all over the world.  The pendant includes natural opals from Australia (white and black), Ethiopia and Mexico.  It also includes a floating opal, which has Australian white opal chips suspended in lucite.  Each opal is a cabochon, either round or oval.  The opals are embedded in a large oval onyx stone.  The onyx has been carved to create space for each opal to be inset.  The onyx is held in place by silver prongs textured to look like rough gold ore.   The pendant is old and the opals show a lot of wear.  Many opals have cracks or crazing.  The onyx also has chips and dings.  The opals have been glued into the onyx, and the glue is visible. This pendant is extremely large.  It can be worn as a pendant, but was likely designed to be displayed. This pendant is valuable as a curiosity - you will never see another pendant like this!  If you adore opals (like I do) you will find this a wonderful contemplation stone.  You can truly get lost in these magical stones.

**Please note:  The stones show lots of wear.  Please examine photos.
