Pear Genuine Opal Cabochon

Opal is the world's most popular phenomenal gemstone, with many cultures believing that opals have supernatural origins and power. Inside each opal, sub-microscopic spheres are stacked in a grid-like pattern — similar to a layer of ping pong balls. When light strikes these spheres, the light waves bend and break into spectral colors, producing a flash of rainbow colors known as play of color. These genuine white opal cabochons display a translucent to semi-translucent white background with medium to strong play-of-color ranging across blue, green, and red. Offered in a classic pear shape, they are well-suited for setting in pendants, rings, and earrings.
