Exquisite and rare blue Peruvian opal pendant, a faceted tear drop held in asymmetrical silver claws.

The blue Peruvian opal in this tear drop pendant is a rare and beautifully detailed example. The black seaweed like forms in the stone are dendrites, a mineral growth named after the Greek word for ‘tree’.

This exquisite blue opal is deep set and held in place with asymmetrical claws on a simple silver chain with handmade clasp.

The colour of the Peruvian Opal is said to look like the Caribbean sea but I think it looks very much like the coves around Cornwall in the summer when the sea turns a stunning turquoise and the rock pools team with life.

The opals are mined in one place in the Andes and are increasingly difficult to source and the deeper blue stones with greater clarity are seen to be more precious.
