The stone looks almost like a distant landscape, with luminous turquoise and green sweeping across the center in irregular layers of rust, brown and smoky blue beneath a dramatic expanse of deep black. The horizontal orientation really plays up that effect, giving the pattern room to stretch across the stone like a horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI purchased a limited amount of this unusually colorful opalwood, and despite looking for more, I haven't been able to find material with this same combination of coloration and patterning again. Once I work through what I have, that will likely be it. That's part of what makes unusual lapidary material so compelling to me. Sometimes you find something extraordinary, and there simply isn't another parcel waiting to replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe half-moon shape is framed in sterling and fine silver with a trio of silver accents beneath the stone. The back has a strong diagonal linear texture, while the short-and-long oval link chain complements the horizontal shape of the pendant and gives the necklace a little more presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetrified wood is traditionally associated with grounding, stability, patience, and a connection to the natural world. Opal is often associated with creativity, inspiration, and individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✧ \u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Petrified opalwood from West Java, Indonesia, approximately 30 × 16 mm\u003cbr\u003e✧ \u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling silver and fine silver\u003cbr\u003e✧ \u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textured sterling silver\u003cbr\u003e✧ \u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling silver short-and-long oval link chain, patinaed and polished\u003cbr\u003e✧ \u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 inches with a 2-inch extension chain, adjustable up to 20 inches\u003cbr\u003e✧ \u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling silver lobster claw clasp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne-of-a-kind and made with care in my studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Janine Krantz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43986636505147,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0337\/2728\/3259\/files\/IMG_0047_7371038b-d330-41a3-a9b2-8f3d039c3a7a.jpg?v=1786818615","url":"https:\/\/janinekrantz.com\/products\/petrified-opal-wood-pendant-sterling-silver-gemstone-necklace-3","provider":"Janine Krantz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
