Opal - Idaho Precious Spencer Opal Pendant







Spencer Idaho opal pendant with rare vintage red & pink coral branches. Opal from Spencer Idaho is coveted world wide, this natural wonder is but just a thin slice of rainbow hues, sandwiched in a triplet with a ignimbright back and quartz crystal top. The "triplet" design allows the natural rainbow coloring to be illuminated. Bright bouncing reds, purples, greens and blues luster the entire cab.

This cab measures 22mm by 12mm, has been married with two vintage coral branches one pink and the other red, then wrapped in 12 carat 20 gauge gold and finished with doubled 1mm tan leather cord and a vintage Mother of Pearl button for the clasp. The neck length is 14", allowing the opal to lay just at the throat chakra. The matching ear drops coral branch measure 1", with assorted bone, glass, vintage, copper, and gold beads....total length from the ear lobe
2 1/4". The lever backs are 14 carat gold.

The coral branches were purchased before the Great Barrier Reef Act, and have been in a private collection up until 1995. They are just a small example of the lovely natural wonders of my vast lapidary collection.

“Opal amplifies your traits and characteristics. Helps you recognize and feel the creativity within the self, providing inspiration and imagination to all situations. It furthers clean, true, spontaneous action, enhancing what you are feeling and allowing for the release of inhibitions. Strengthens the memory and instills faithfulness and loyalty in love and personal relationships. It is a stone of happy dreams and changes. The happy dreams arising from the understanding of personal higher potentials and the glad acceptance of your inherent perfection. The happy changes come from those events which allow your aspirations to surface. Awakens the psychic and mystical qualities and helps you understand the higher powers of intuition and mysticism and to use these powers to enhance personal understanding and personal experiences in the realms of the sacred.” Reference guide: Melody – Love Is In The Earth

Opal Wood - Petrified Opalized Wood






One large opalized petrified wood pendant from the mountains of Southern Idaho. After slabbing the stone I married it with other like stones to tumble for six weeks. The stone has simply been tumbled naturally to a mirror shine on both sides.

The stone has been wrapped in 20 gauge sterling silver and completed simply with 2mm tan leather cord and two lamp work beads from the etsy shop of "skaramouche".

The whole piece measures 3 7/8" long by 2 1/4" wide ( at widest bottom edge). The neck length on the adjustable slip knot is 16" up to 24".

This amber piece was finished in 1998, but because I have a tendency to horde and hygrade pieces some of my stones rarely see the light of day.

Amber represents prosperity, many show people carry a piece in their cash boxes for good luck. Also, used for your third eye and crown chakra.
