This piece has exceptional balance—perfect for fine jewelry or a rare addition to a gem collector’s vault.

Scientific Note:

Brazilian opals are composed of hydrated silica (SiO2·nH2O), formed in sedimentary rock cavities over millions of years. Unlike some hydrophane Ethiopian varieties, most Brazilian opals exhibit stable moisture content, making them ideal for long-term wear. The dense pinfire is caused by tightly packed silica spheres (often 150–250 nm), diffracting light into sharp, distinct flashes.

Metaphysical Insight:

Known for enhancing creativity and emotional clarity, Brazilian opals are said to carry a calm, uplifting frequency. This opal, with its shimmering spectrum, is believed to unlock joy, intuition, and higher inspiration.

This premium-grade Brazilian opal comes from the now-closed mines of Pedro II, making it a finite treasure. With no new material entering the market, stones of this clarity, color density, and polish are becoming increasingly scarce—making this a true investment gem for collectors and designers alike.
