Australian Black Boulder Opal Bead Necklace. 76g **VIDEO*

Welcome to Sea Green Mermaid!

For sale is a hand-knotted Australian boulder opal bead necklace.  This necklace is one of the most spectacular items I have ever had the honor to sell in my store.  It features large 1/2" round opal beads with a dark brown matrix.  Every SINGLE bead displays veins or a patch or a sprinkle of blue or purple or green opalescence.  The beads at the front of the necklace have large patches or veins of opalescence, and the beads towards the clasp have smaller amounts of fire.  The opal beads are in very good condition. The beads are not uniform, but display a great deal of variety in the color and appearance of the opalescence. Some beads have patches of opal, and others have a spiderweb of veins over their surface. 

Photos do NOT do justice to this spectacular necklace.  Please see the video.

The gold-tone silver clasp is a large (1/2") sturdy spherical bead with a magnet that holds securely.

***This necklace can be worn and enjoyed as it is, or taken apart and sold for the value of the beads.  Boulder opal beads of this large size and quality are quite rare, and many of the individual beads are worth over $400+.  

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
