A magnificent piece of Cooberpedy red/multicolor Gem Crystal Opal takes prime central position here, featuring cascades of brilliant red fire suffused with brilliant electric blues, greens, golds and crimson - stunning ! This piece of brillant opal has then been inlayed into carefully shaped and sculptured jet black leadlight glass. This special type of leadlight glass is much denser and stronger in it's make-up than ordinary leadlight glass, and has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the MOHS scale.
Surrounding this center-piece is Gem Opal from the varied Australian Opal mining fields of Lightning Ridge, Coober-Pedy, Andamooka and Mintabie - all joined together in a glorious harmony of vibrant color, light and fire. At the very top of this beautiful opal pendant is a section of emerald green to green-blue fire which displays a lovely and quite unique rolling ribbon harlequin pattern.
