Brazilian Lavender Purple Crystal Opal w 14k Pendant. Large 1" **VIDEO*

Welcome to Sea Green Mermaid!

For sale is a sterling pendant with 14k yellow gold accents and a Brazilian purple crystal opal.  This opal is simply stunning.  This opal was mined in the 1970s in the Boi Morto opal fields in the northeastern state of Piaui, the largest working opal mine in Brazil.  Opals from this region are excavated manually by the local garimpeiros (miners).   This opal is transparent with a light lavender shade.  It flashes with darker purple opalescence in sunlight or bright artificial light.  This opal is delightful in dim light as well, where it has more subtle opalescent fire.  The opal is secure in a hand-crafted sterling silver crown setting with a large built-in bail.  The bail is decorated with 14k yellow gold bali beads.  I had this pendant converted from a ring by my jeweler, so I can 100% attest that the gold is solid 14k.  This is a lovely, eye-catching opal pendant.  It is large and the color is so wonderful and unusual.  It will delight opal lovers with its magical and ethereal beauty.
