Artisan Crafted Sterling Silver Dendritic Opal Pendant P011

Artisan Crafted Sterling Silver Dendritic Opal Pendant P011

A stunning teardrop shaped dendrite opal pendant in 925 sterling silver setting. It's color is white and translucent with black infusions. Complimented by ornate, multi faceted white topaz, and quartz gemstones.

This opal variety is termed "dendritic" due to its internal collection of dendrites. Dendrites are fern-like inclusions of iron, manganese, or other metallic oxides that create bold patterns within the gem. Typically, dendritic opals are cut into slices to best exhibit nature's artwork. As you might guess, these pieces are one-of-a-kinds, as no two dendritic patterns are exactly the same. Usually these opals are white, yellow, blue, green or pink and show the black inclusions well.

The pendant measures approximately 1 5/8 x 1 1/8 inches, including the bail.

Stamped .925 inside bail.

Brand new artisan crafted.
