DENDRITIC OPAL & GOLD PLATED STERLING SILVER PENDANT NECKLACE
DENDRITIC OPAL & GOLD PLATED STERLING SILVER PENDANT NECKLACE:
18 inch snake chain suspending a 2.25 inch length pendant set with an oval dendritic opal cabochon measuring approximately 38mm x 28mm. Pendant necklace gross weight: 21.5 grams.
Provenance: Dendritic opal is a variety of common opal distinguished by delicate, branching patterns that resemble leaves, ferns, or tree-like forms. These natural markings are created by mineral inclusions, often manganese or iron oxides, that become embedded within the stone as it forms. The contrast between the opal's translucent to opaque body and its intricate dendritic patterns gives each piece a distinctive, organic appearance.
