$93.00The Story
- Natural Black Opal Honduras Rounds Stretch Bracelet
- Bead Approx. 7mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm Round Shape
- This listing is for ONE Black Opal Stretch Bracelet ONLY
- Fits up to size 7.5" wrist
- Strung on high quality elastic cord
- Handcrafted at Beads of Paradise NYC
- Honduras has some of the oldest Opal Mines in the world, with the most famous Opal Mine in Tablon. Many small family farms subsidize their income from Opal mining. The Opal Mines are found in volcanic Black Basalt.
- The gemstone Opal is the official October birthstone.
- Opal is related to quartz, although it is much softer due to its high water content. As light enters the Opal, it bends around the edges of tiny particles of hydrated silica, "chips" of silicon and oxygen suspended in water within the stone. When it is diffracted, the light that is made up of all visible colors, each with its own wavelength, produces an entire rainbow of colors. They can internally display virtually any color, and Opals with the most “fire” are the most valuable. Diffraction can cause flashes of any color of the rainbow (opalescent). Australia produces 97% of the world’s Opals, although the reddish-orange “fire” Opals are mined in Mexico. The name Opal was probably derived from Sanskrit "upala", meaning "valuable stone". This was most likely the root for the Greek term "opallios", which translates as "color change". In the days of Roman antiquity there existed a so-called "opalus", or a "stone from several elements".
- Common folklore rumors Opals may increase intuition, enhance clairvoyance, and reveal the truth.
